Brookfield pushing for Union River Dam Water Certification

June 19, 2025

Downeast Salmon Federation continues to push for a solution to help sea-run fish migrate on the Union River. Fish that attempt to pass this large dam often end up being killed by the turbines. Please help us push for state-of-the-art fish passage at these antiquated and inefficient (circa 1907) dams. Your support will be used to keep the pressure on Brookfield in the courts. Our pro bono and low-bono attorneys have forced Brookfield back to the drawing board after they lost their recent appeals.
