Eli the eel: A mysterious migration – James Prosek
They’re slippery. They’re slithery. And while they totally look like underwater snakes, eels are, in fact, unique fish that can breathe through their skin and even survive out of water. James Prosek tracks the life journey of Eli the Anguilla eel as she (yes, she) travels her mysterious “backward” migration from the sea to fresh water and back again.

Federal regulators and dam owners are about a year into the five-year process of relicensing the 50-year-old hydroelectric dam that spans the Androscoggin River between Brunswick and Topsham. Local environmentalists say it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to evaluate and redesign passageways that have failed to allow fish migration.
DetailsFormed by the confluence of six rivers, Merrymeeting Bay drains almost 40% of Maine’s fresh water into the Gulf of Maine through Chop Point. The bay is a unique inland freshwater river delta and the largest staging ground for migratory waterfowl in the Northeast.
