About
Project SHARE
Project SHARE, a 501(c)3 organization, was created in 1994 through the efforts of concerned landowners, salmon anglers, businesses and various government agencies, to establish a forum to protect and enhance Atlantic salmon habitat in the five Downeast rivers of Maine.
SHARE's
mission is to conserve and protect Atlantic
salmon habitat in the Dennys, Machias, East Machias, Pleasant, and Narraguagus
rivers. This is based on the premise of voluntary participation by area landowners,
businesses, as well as local, state and federal government, academia, conservation
organizations, research and educational interests and any other entity that
will enhance the healthy functioning of these riverine ecosystems.
SHARE has 50 members and holds a bi-monthly Forum at the Hillgrove Community Center in Whitneyville, Maine, open to the public. Membership is open to all stakeholders that can contribute to the conservation of this important species.
SHARE is governed by a Board of Directors and is organized into two standing committees that focus on research and education.
