Alewives swim in a holding pen at the top of a fish ladder at the Webber Pond dam in Vassalboro on May 20, 2019. Voters approved at Town Meeting on June 3, $7,500 to go toward making modifications at the China Lake Outlet Dam to help create a fishway and $47,500 will be put toward the Alewife Restoration Initiative more generally.
