Diadromous fish are migratory fish that use both fresh and salt water, including eels, alewives and salmon.

"We're interested in restoring the endangered fish populations throughout the Gulf of Maine," he said.

Kulik said the Endangered Species Act must be considered and it was important to get "the funders involved," namely U.S. Fish and Wildlife's Jed Wright.

"It goes well beyond the issue of water quality," Wright said, "because riparian buffer zones are also significant habitat for wildlife."

"Effective management," Jed Wright said, "requires a good combination of science and judgment."
