By Julie Harris, Bangor Daily News Staff A bill awaiting the governor’s signature will require two of the state’s departments that deal with fisheries to be responsible for a plan to keep invasive species from taking over waters important to native fish. The Legislature gave final approval last week to LD 1049, a bill that was amended to a memorandum of understanding between the departments of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and Marine Resources.
