Long-term management plan for the diadromous fisheries of the St. Croix River / Anon.: Fs97-4/1969E-PDF

"The St. Croix River, a US/Canada international river bordering the State of Maine and the Province of New Brunswick, drains southwesterly into Passamaquoddy Bay of the Bay of Fundy. Approximately 1,619 km² (625 mi²) of the river's drainage basin is in New Brunswick and 2,616 km² (1,010 mi²) is in Maine. The St. Croix River has undergone dramatic changes over the years as the result of development of industry related activities; mainly pulp mill and power generation activities. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and other anadromous fish species decreased dramatically as the industrial development expanded throughout the system. Fisheries management to rehabilitate these species became a matter of international concern and to deal with this a joint US/Canada St. Croix River Steering Committee was established for the purpose of seeking mutual agreement on a course of action to rebuild the depleted stocks and to develop a long-term river specific management strategy. This report is a result of the Steering Committee and its subcommittee's deliberations and recommends the appropriate steps to be followed to manage the anadromous fish resources of the St. Croix during the 1980 's and 1990's"--Abstract, page vi.
