  "projectDescription": "The Sheepscot River Barrier Removal project aimed to increase the population size of Atlantic salmon and other diadromous fish in the state of Maine. The Atlantic Salmon Federation reconnected lost ecological relationships between the Sheepscot tributaries, main stem, estuary, and Gulf of Maine through removal of the Coopers Mills Dam on the Sheepscot River. These actions will significantly improve fish passage for Atlantic salmon and enhance habitat for other diadromous fish in the Sheepscot River.",
