Movies Sea-Run Fish Love to Watch....and so do we!
"Keystone: Voices for the little fish"........
"Keystone" is Upstream Cobbossee's 11 minute film explaining our efforts to restore sea-run fish to Cobbossee Stream and the Cobbosseecontee Watershed.
"A Watershed Moment"
A Watershed Moment tells the story of an all-hands effort involving fishermen, three coastal Maine communities, non-profit organizations, and state and federal management agencies to restore fish passage throughout the entire Bagaduce River Watershed in Maine. These grassroots efforts to bring back alewife, a keystone species that has allowed fishing communities to thrive have been remarkably successful. An unlikely group of partners, the story of this partnership is rooted in collaboration and can act as a beacon of hope for other communities and watersheds involved in fish passage restoration and community-driven science and stewardship. A Watershed Moment is a story about people, fish, and the water that connects them.
"One Million Fish: Restoring Alewives to Maine's China Lake"
In summer 2022, nonprofit Maine Rivers partnered with Reel Quest Films to produce a short film highlighting its multiyear project to restore passage for alewives from the ocean to China Lake by removing and restoring 6 dams on 7-mile China Lake Outlet Stream. This is the amazing story of how this project resulted in more than 800,000 alewives successfully navigating their way from the Gulf of Maine to China Lake for the first time in almost 240 years.
