The Atlantic Salmon species of fish on Maine's Penobscot, Kennebec and Androscoggin Rivers was listed as an endangered species. The listing was not a complete surprise, but it did frustrate a lot of people. Jennifer Rooks and the Maine Watch team offer a discussion of the implications. Plus, a conversation with artist Barbara Ernst Prey.
