Penobscot River Research Seminars (Spring 2006)
We would like to express our gratitude to the speakers listed below who made our Spring 06 seminar series, focused on Penobscot River research, such an outstanding success. For additional information on Penobscot River research, go to the Penobscot River Synthesis website. This project includes a literature review and data inventory of past and current research in the Penobscot River and its watershed. It also provides scientists, educators, and communities with needed information on water quality trends, expected impacts of dam removal, river flora and fauna, environmental history, and current monitoring efforts.
