Welcome to Project S.H.A.R.E. (Salmon Habitat And River Enhancement)
Our mission is to conserve and enhance Atlantic salmon habitat and populations in the Downeast (primarily Washington County) region of Maine. We encourage the voluntary participation of area landowners and businesses, local, state and federal agencies, academia, conservation organizations, and other interested parties. We support cooperative resource management, research, and educational activities that will enhance the healthy functioning of these riverine ecosystems.
Our goal is to provide our members with an integral tool for communication and information transfer between the various parties interested in restoration of Atlantic salmon in Downeast Maine. Please contact us for more information.

Who are we?
Project
SHARE, a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, was created in 1994 through the
efforts of concerned landowners, salmon anglers, businesses and various
government
agencies to establish a forum to protect and enhance Atlantic salmon habitat
in the five Downeast Rivers of Maine. For over a decade, we have dedicated
millions to the restoration of Maine's wild Atlantic salmon habitat.
