Join us at the Blue Hill Public Library for a free showing of “A Watershed Moment,” a short film that
tells the story of many groups coming together over multiple years to restore
fish passage throughout the entire Bagaduce River Watershed. A Q&A
featuring partners involved in the restoration projects and collaborative management
efforts will follow. Three coastal Maine communities, numerous nonprofits, engineering and
construction companies, and state and federal management agencies found a way to
restore historic fish passages and do the necessary community science to
reinstate and become stewards of the alewife runs in their backyards. Rooted in
collaboration, this story can act as a beacon of hope for other communities
involved in fish passage restoration and community-driven stewardship.
“
A Watershed Moment” is about people,
fish, and the water that connects them—and what it takes to keep that
connection alive and strong.
