The last time alewives made the 70-mile journey from the ocean to China Lake in central Maine, the American Revolution had just come to an end in 1783. Since then, the sea run fish, also known as river herring, have been blocked from their historic spawning grounds by a series of dams. But this week, something remarkable happened: the fish returned.

As the fish's annual migration begins again, this is the first year in centuries that alewives will be able to swim upriver to China Lake, a milestone that Gov. Janet Mills and others celebrated this week.

CHINA LAKE, Maine (AP) — A sixth and final man-made obstacle has been removed from a central Maine waterway, clearing the way for a type of small fish to return to spring breeding grounds that were blocked for decades by dams.

Yarmouth-based Maine Rivers has completed a fishway at the Outlet Dam on China Lake, clearing the final obstacle to alewife migration from the ocean to the lake.
