New York Times notes UMaine research in Penobscot dam removal story
University of Maine fish biology and ecology researchers Michael Kinnison and Gayle Zydlewski discovered a previously unknown population of endangered shortnose sturgeon in the Penobscot River near Bangor, according to a New York Times report on the impact of recent dam removals on the river. Since dams on the Penobscot have come down, the story notes, the sturgeon have been able to make their way upstream. The article also cited similar research by Joseph Zydlewski, a research biologist with the Maine Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit of the United States Geological Survey.
