Overview

The Downeast Fisheries Partnership is an unprecedented effort to restore one of the world’s great ecosystems by reconnecting the rivers of eastern Maine to its coastal waters.

The partnership, launched by Manomet and two other organizations in 2014, currently includes ten partners – and continues to grow. The collective action partnership came together to improve the health of communities in eastern Maine by rejuvenating the region’s once-thriving fisheries economy. The partners collectively represent economic and community development, research and education, conservation and sustainable management.
