New offset agreement provides funds for tribe, protects species by Edward French
The Passamaquoddy Tribe has entered into another environmental offset program that will generate funds for the tribe as its lands compensate for ecological impacts at other locations. With the tribe already having received millions through the carbon credit program, with its lands in Maine offsetting emissions from polluters on the other side of the country, it now has approved an agreement for an easement on its blueberry barrens to offset loss of habitat for a protected species at a new solar farm just down the coast in Maine.
Chilly start to elver season
ELLSWORTH The elver season is already underway, but it likely won’t heat up in earnest until temperatures ratchet up a few more degrees.
“People ain’t catching a whole lot right now,” said Ellsworth-based Darrell Young, the co-director of the Maine Elver Fishermen’s Association.
The multimillion-dollar fishery opened on March 22, but local fishermen have reported little action while waiting for waters to warm up.
They chalk the delay up to recent rains, which have kept the waters cool and flows fast, less than ideal conditions for the small spaghetti-like young eels that migrate upriver from the sea.
