Darling Marine Center, School of Marine Sciences, University of Maine, Walpole, ME 04573, USA Received 3 November 1998; received in revised form 30 April 1999; accepted 5 May 1999 Abstract Three decapod species in the Gulf of Maine (American lobster Homarus americanus Milne Edwards, 1837, rock crab Cancer irroratus Say, 1817, and Jonah crab Cancer borealis Stimpson, 1859) were investigated to determine how their patterns of settlement and post-settlement abundance varied at different spatial and temporal scales. Spatial scales ranged from centimeters to hundreds of kilometers. Abundances of newly settled and older (sum of several cohorts) individuals were measured at different substrata, depths, sites within and among widely spaced regions, and along estuarine gradients. Temporal scales ranged from weekly censuses of new settlers within a season to inter-annual comparisons of settlement strengths. Over the scales considered here, only lobsters and rock crabs were consistently abundant in their early post- settlement stages. Compared to rock crabs, lobsters settled at lower densities but in speci®c habitats and over a narrower range of conditions. The abundance and distribution of older individuals of both species were, however, similar at all scales. This is consistent with previous observations that, by virtue of high fecundity, rock crabs have high rates of settlement, but do not discriminate among habitats, and suffer high levels of post-settlement mortality relative to lobsters.

  • Comprehensive Plan Vol. 1, Part 4
    Vol. I, 2009 Edgecomb Comprehensive Plan 24 PART 4 NATURAL RESOURCES CRITICAL NATURAL RESOURCES MAINE’S GROWTH MANAGEMENT GOAL To protect the state's other critical natural resources, including without limitation, wetlands, wildlife and fisheries habitat, sand dunes, shorelands, scenic vistas, and unique natural areas. TOWN VISION To protect Edgecomb’s critical natural resources within and surrounding Edgecomb’s privately- owned undeveloped and unfragmented lands; Edgecomb’s only great pond, Lily Pond; the town- owned Charles and Constance Schmid Land Preserve as well as Edgecomb’s tidal frontage and its scenic vistas. CITIZENS’ VIEW (SURVEY RESPONSE) ● 58%, or 205 respondents, choose to live in Edgecomb because of its proximity to water, clear skies and starry nights. ● 54%, or 177 respondents, enjoy the respect for privacy in Edgecomb. Unfragmented Parcels ● 71%, or 253 respondents, defined rural as (Source: Beginning with Habitat) “the bulk of our land remaining undeveloped, with large tracts of backland, fields and forests.” ● 28%, or 94 respondents, objected to forestry operations “in their back yard.” ● 54%, or 191 respondents, felt that nature preserves are an acceptable trade-off for lost tax revenue. CONDITIONS AND TRENDS The topography of the upper part of the peninsula comprising the Town of Edgecomb is typical of Maine coastline peninsulas. A gently rolling landscape of rocky, clay soil, remaining from land which was heavily wooded before clearing and settlement of the 18th century, is laid over a granite skeleton. A mixture of second and third growth woodland is broken by the pattern of open fields surviving from 18th and 19th century farms when agriculture and fishing were the major sources of livelihood for inhabitants.

Acadia National Park participated in this survey, which was intended to meet the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). The response rate for the survey was 31 %. In a brief report, the University of Idaho Cooperative Park Studies Unit compiled the results of visitor evaluations of park facilities, services, and recreation opportunities (GPRA goal Hal) at Acadia. Ninety-five percent of visitors were satisfied with the overall quality of visitor facilities, services, and recreation opportunities offered by Acadia. This was equal to the 2006 GPRA servicewide goal of 95%. Responses to questions about the quality of specific facilities or services showed there is limited room for improvement. Visitor responses to the question about the significance of Acadia National Park (GPRA goal Hb 1) were compared to significance statements identified in the park's GPRA plan. According to servicewide standards for evaluating answers to this question (visitor identification of at least one park significance item), 96% of Acadia visitors understand something about the significance . of Acadia. This is well above the 2006 GPRA service wide goal of 87%.

It is a history of oystering, oyster fisheries, and oyster commerce in Maine. It is a history of the transplanting of oysters to Maine, and experiments with oysters in Maine, and of oyster culture in Maine. This history takes place from the 1600s to the 1970s. 17th Century {}{}{}{} In early days, oysters were to be found in lavish abundance along all the Atlantic coast, though Ingersoll says it was at least a small number of oysters on the Gulf of Maine coast.86, 87 Champlain wrote that in 1604, "All the harbors, bays, and coasts from Chouacoet (Saco) are filled with every variety of fish.
