The goal of DSRRN is to advance the science of diadromous fish restoration and promote state-of-the-art scientific approaches to multiple-species restoration through workshops, conferences, web sharing, and journal publications.
DSRRN is a joint project of the Senator George J. Mitchell Center for Environmental & Watershed Research at the University of Maine and the University of Southern Maine. Funding for the project was received from the National Science Foundation. Learn more...
