Habitat

The number of sea-run fish returning to the St. Croix River to spawn continues its recovery, according to on-going tracking efforts.

Extreme flooding coupled with human development appear to be primary factors contributing to ongoing erosion of barrier islands in Lake of the Woods.  

As of this summer, the Milltown Dam is no longer impeding fish passage along the St. Croix River.

New Brunswick Power began removing the Milltown Dam this summer, located near Calais, Maine, and St. Stephen, New Brunswick.
