A few years ago, dad told me that Atlantic salmon get to be as big as 50' long. When I laughed, he got really upset, doubling down on it. I looked up the world's largest Atlantic salmon. The monstrous fish was over four feet long. Dad refused to believe this. I guess he thinks Monstro-sized salmon flop their ways up shallow rivers, damming them up as they spawn. I like to imagine the mighty 50' salmon leaping majestically up Niagara Falls. Imagine how startled a bear would be to find such a beast. https://trickyfish.co/what-is-the-largest-atlantic-salmon-ever-caught/

From 2020: Restoration of #LandStewardship
#SunlightMediaCollective, October 14, 2020
"A significant return of land #stewardship to the #PenobscotNation celebrates their history and cultural #resilience and serves to inspire similar land stewardship returns during and beyond this important moment of historical reckoning. On October 30th, 2020, in the Ancestral territory of the Penobscot Nation, #ChiefKirkFrancis and the Penobscot people received 735 acres of #LandBack in what is currently known as #WilliamsburgTownship. The land is located between two parcels of land already in Penobscot stewardship, to the West of the #PleasantRiver and the town of #Brownsville. This is a broad landscape of #RiverEcosystem and critical #AtlanticSalmon habitat that connects the #PenobscotRiver to #Katahdin."

#MaineTribes and Leading #Environmental Organizations Join Forces To Oppose Proposed #Mine in Shadow of #Katahdin
Proposed #ZincMine at #PickettMountain being pursued by virtually unknown Canadian company
June 28, 2023
"Two Tribes in Maine today joined forces with leading environmental groups and a national public interest environmental law organization to oppose a proposed mine that would be located in the shadow of #BaxterStatePark and the #KatahdinWoods & Waters National Monument.
"The proposed zinc mine at Pickett Mountain is being pursued by a virtually unknown Canadian company, #WolfdenResources, that has never operated a mine before. A previous version of Wolfden’s request was widely opposed because the region holds enormous cultural and natural significance to #Wabanaki Tribes, outdoor recreation businesses, and Maine people.
"The #HoultonBandOfMaliseets, the #PenobscotNation, and the #NaturalResourcesCouncilOfMaine [#NRCM], represented by #Earthjustice and #Brann&Isaacson, joined the #ConservationLawFoundation in petitioning to intervene in the review of Wolfden’s permit application to the Land Use Planning Commission (#LUPC) to rezone the area for #industrial uses.
"'The Penobscot Nation strongly opposes the rezoning of this #ecologically important area. We share significant concerns over impacts to the #water quality and f#isheries of the area, which our members rely upon,' said #ChiefKirkFrancis of the Penobscot Nation. 'The West Branch of the #MattawamkeagRiver contains abundant, high-quality, cold-water fish habitat and Designated #CriticalHabitat for #endangered #AtlanticSalmon, identified as necessary for the recovery of Atlantic salmon in the Penobscot River. This mine would impact our traditional territories and forever alter our ability to maintain our relationship to this place.'
"The area Wolfden wants to mine is next to three State Heritage Fish Waters and is a centerpiece of the region’s growing outdoor economy. It contains the headwaters of the West Branch of the Mattawamkeag River, which is sacred to the Penobscot Nation and provides key, federally designated critical habitat for endangered Atlantic salmon.
"'The Katahdin region’s wild beauty and clean water are extraordinary. One look at this landscape demonstrates that this is no place to put a mine,' said Nick Bennett, staff scientist at the Natural Resources Council of Maine. 'Wolfden’s claims that it will treat #wastewater more effectively than any mining company on earth are not credible. This is too big a risk for #Maine.'
"'The legacy of metallic mineral #mining in Maine is one of empty promises of economic development, acid mine drainage #polluting waters and killing fish, and multi-million dollar c#leanups funded by taxpayers and not the fly-by-night mining companies like Wolfden,' said #SeanMahoney, vice-president and senior counsel at the Conservation Law Foundation. 'Rezoning this area to allow mining would fail to recognize the cultural and spiritual importance of the land to the #WabanakiTribes and threaten the natural resources and experiences valued by generations of Maine citizens.'
"After withdrawing its initial request because it was riddled with errors, Wolfden submitted a second rezoning petition in January that sparked another review by the LUPC. Comments by Wolfden’s CEO disrespecting Maine tribes and #MininLlaws have prompted outrage from the Penobscot Nation, Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, and #conservationists. The company has lost tens of millions of dollars over the past decade.
"'This is one of the absolute worst areas to rezone for a mine,' said Aaron Bloom, a senior attorney with Earthjustice. 'The region is known for its vast contiguous forest, pristine streams, high-quality lakes, and aquatic species like wild brook trout and landlocked salmon. Why would we risk that, along with the outdoor economy that depends on it, on a half-baked proposal from an unproven mining company? The Commission must put Maine’s unique natural resources, and the well-being of the people of Maine and Maine’s Wabanaki Tribes, before short-term industry profits.'
"More than 700 hundred Mainers and local businesses, including Bradford Camps, Chandler Lakes Camps and Lodge, and the #MaineWildernessGuidesOrganization, have spoken out against Wolfden’s plans. In May 2022, residents of #Pembroke voted overwhelmingly to ban industrial-scale metallic mineral mining in their town in response to Wolfden’s plans to develop a mine there."

September 27, 2023"An untested and underfunded company called #WolfdenResources has submitted a second rezoning petition to the Land Use Planning Commission (#LUPC) to allow for the development of a zinc mine near #PickettMountain in the #Katahdin region. The Canada-based exploration and development company focused on metallic mining deposits was forced to withdraw its first application in 2021 because it was riddled with errors.
"The proposed mine has been identified by the LUPC as an 'issue of statewide concern' and has attracted a lot of attention because of its location just miles away from #BaxterStatePark and #Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument.
"Here are some answers to frequently asked questions that have arisen as people seek to better understand what is being proposed.
"What is the potential impact on local wildlife and fisheries?
"The location of the proposed mine is directly adjacent to some of the state’s best habitat for #BrookTrout and #AtlanticSalmon. It is next to three State Heritage Fish Waters and contains the headwaters of the West Branch of the #MattawamkeagRiver, which is federally designated critical habitat for endangered Atlantic salmon. The #PenobscotNation and other organizations have worked hard to restore habitat for Atlantic salmon and brook trout in Maine. #Mining pollution could reverse this progress.
"The mine would destroy critical habitat for threatened #CanadaLynx and habitat for other iconic Maine species, such as #moose and #PineMarten.
"What is the significance of the area surrounding the proposed mine site to Wabanaki tribes?
"The Katahdin region and #PenobscotRiver #watershed are sacred to #WabanakiTribes. The tribes have an intimate cultural and physical relationship with the land and water, which continues today through traditional practices such as sustenance fishing and hunting. The location of Wolfden’s proposed mine is near several important tribal trust lands.
"The tribes also have a close connection to Atlantic salmon and have long worked to recover habitat for the species. The proposed mine would be located in critical habitat for endangered at Atlantic salmon and would endanger that progress."

Cats.
They will entice you to purchase them expensive toys.
But will then only play with said toys on occasion and *only* after you remove the motor.
Still it’s a realistic looking fish 😸

This is a Superior Fish Being! It's an Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar), a fish, that happens to *be* present in Lake Superior.
