Watersheds

The Down East RC&D Area Council has seven major Atlantic Salmon watersheds within its boundaries, those being the Dennys, East Machias, Machias,  Narraguagus, Pleasant, St. Croix, and Union.  The Union River Watershed is located in Hancock County, the Narrauagus is located partly in both counties, the St. Croix is the border watershed with Canada, and the remainder of the watersheds are located in Washington County.

The Pleasant and Narraguagus River Watershed Councils play a major role in monitoring the water quality of these two downeast rivers and their tributaries.  They are grassroots volunteer organizations working to enhance and maintain the water quality of our rivers, their wildlife and habitat, and ensure continued enjoyment of their natural resources.
