BENTON, ME - MAY 18, 2019
Brandon Bezio, of Monhegan Island, hauls crates of alewives up a ramp to the ice-packing station on the Sebasticook River in Benton on Saturday, May 18, 2019. Each crate weighs about 60 pounds containing approximately 500 alewives. The new regulation on herring fishing has made the alewife a hot commodity on the mid-coast.
