Please join us at the Woods Hole Public Library for a free screening of the documentary feature film, “A Watershed Moment.” The film tells the story of an all-hands effort involving fishermen, three coastal Maine communities, non-profit organizations, and state and federal management agencies to restore fish passage throughout the Bagaduce River Watershed in Maine. These grassroots efforts to bring back alewife, a keystone species that has allowed fishing communities to thrive, have been remarkably successful. An unlikely group of partners, the story of this partnership is rooted in collaboration and can act as a beacon of hope for other communities and watersheds involved in fish passage restoration and community-driven science, co-management, and stewardship. “A Watershed Moment” is a story about people, fish, and the water that connects them. A discussion after the screening will feature a beloved Woods Hole summer resident, Ciona Ulbrich, Senior Project Manager at Maine Coast Heritage Trust.
