Welcome to Alewife Harvesters of Maine’s new and improved website! Our mission is to encourage and promote conservation, habitat restoration, and unimpeded passage; to promote sustainability in harvest plans; and to encourage community-based management plans that ensure the health of the alewife and blueback herring runs, so that they can be harvested annually.

Check back often for river herring resource materials, updates on the current river herring season and ways to get involved with river herring in your community. Also follow us on Facebook!
