Alewife Brook, Cape Elizabeth, River Herring Monitoring Summary 2015, Matt Craig Feb 2016

Alewife Brook, Cape Elizabeth, River Herring Monitoring Summary 2015, Matt Craig

Publications

Alewife Brook in Cape Elizabeth, Maine is a small coastal stream, approximately 1.2 miles long, that runs from Great Pond to Casco Bay. Alewife Brook’s primary source is Great Pond, a 171 acre water body with a mean depth of four feet and a maximum depth of five feet (Maine DEP). Historic documents and anecdotes from local residents indicate that in past decades, the system has supported enough alewives (Alosa pseudoharengus) that local lobstermen harvested the anadromous fish during their annual migrations to Great Pond to spawn, for use as bait.

The coast of Maine is divided into 4 distinct geomorphologic sections arising from differences in the composition, orientation and structure of the bedrock (Kelley et al., 1988) (Figure 1). The salt marshes located in these 4 sections of the coast are somewhat distinct geomorphologically due to differences in geology, the sediment supply and composition, and the intensity and direction of wave energy. The Arcuate Embayments compartment (in the southwest region of the state) is characterized by resistant bedrock headlands separated by large sandy beaches and large back barrier marshes. Moving further east, the Indented Shoreline compartment is characterized by high …


Shellfish And Seaweed Aquaculture As A Mechanism For Economic Diversification In Maine Island And Coastal Communities, Erin Love Jan 2016

Shellfish And Seaweed Aquaculture As A Mechanism For Economic Diversification In Maine Island And Coastal Communities, Erin Love

Publications

Lobster is an iconic species in Maine, and for good reason. In 2015 80% of the landed value of commercially harvested Maine seafood was attributed to lobster. In a changing marine environment, the lobster fishery may not always be as robust as it is now. Shellfish and seaweed aquaculture is one possibility for marine harvesters looking to diversify away from lobster (or other species) in order to supplement their income or to foster an alternative source of income should their current fishery become unviable in the future. We used interview and questionnaire data from Casco Bay to Penobscot Bay to …
