Atlantic Salmon: $1000 and above The Atlantic salmon has fought hard to prevent from becoming extinct; it is a prized catch, and yet very vulnerable to changes in its environment. Sponsors and donors at this level won't give up on the idea of making their community better and realize that they often have to “swim up-current and overcome all obstacles” in order to reach their objectives.  Marketplace at Augusta  Hannaford  Best Buy, Augusta American Shad: $500 and above A spectacular fighting fish, the American shad traditionally played a strong role in the ecology of the Kennebec, and as food for natives and settlers of the region. Shad are making a great comeback in the Kennebec River, thanks to strong conservation efforts, and the removal of the Edwards Dam. Sponsors and donations at this level play a key role in helping to keep the festival going, step by step.   Time and Tide Resource Conservation and Development Area River Herring Level The alewife and blueback herring are members of the “River Herring” family and are considered to be a valuable food fish from which most species of predatory fish, birds, animals and even humans rely upon to help sustain the aquatic ecosystem. Sponsors and donations at this level may be smaller in nature, but together in number, play a vital role in sustainability.  Uncle Henry's |
