This scenic area includes historic Harrington village and an expansive tidal estuary on the Harrington River. To the north, churches and historic buildings in Harrington Village are visible across the marsh from Route 1. To the south, views look out toward Harrington Bay. This area was once the center of a regional significant shipbuilding industry. Though few visible traces remain, over two hundred vessels were launched from the Harrington River. There are sustained views in both directions from Route 1A and shorter, filtered views from Route 1. A large field of lupine just south of Route 1 enhances the areas scenic character in the late Spring.

  • BALD EAGLE MANAGEMENT GOALS and OBJECTIVES 2004 - 2019 Adopted by MDIFW Commissioner and Advisory Council September 23, 2004
    BALD EAGLE MANAGEMENT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES 2004 - 2019 Adopted by MDIFW Commissioner and Advisory Council September 23, 2004 Population Goal Increase the population and expand the range of breeding bald eagles in Maine. Population Objective: By 2019, increase the bald eagle population to at least 600 nesting pairs, and allow the population to naturally expand statewide. Productivity Objective: Maintain a statewide minimum productivity of 9 fledged eaglets per 10 occupied breeding areas through 2019. Habitat Goal Identify, maintain, and enhance bald eagle breeding, foraging, and wintering habitat to allow for future expansion of the bald eagle population in Maine. Habitat Objective 1: By 2019, ensure long-term protection of viable bald eagle nesting habitat through fee ownership, easements, and landowner agreements for a minimum of 300 nest sites, proportionately distributed throughout occupied range. Habitat Objective 2: By 2019, promote private stewardship of 300 additional viable bald eagle nest sites through landowner agreements, outreach, tax credits, or other means. Habitat Objective 3: By 2008, determine the amount and distribution of shoreline habitat that is currently protected for feeding, wintering, and future nesting sites for bald eagles, and determine the amount of additional shoreline that needs to be protected to ensure the viability of 600 nesting pairs of eagles in Maine. Recovery Safeguard Goal Safeguard recovery of Maine’s bald eagle population through outreach and education and through establishing de-listing and re-listing strategies. Outreach Objective: By 2006, develop, and begin implementing, an outreach program that increases the understanding and appreciation of bald eagles and their habitat requirements in Maine, and increases awareness of human- related activities that result in bald eagle deaths, injuries, reproductive failures, etc.

Hayek SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of “diffusing knowledge” was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: “It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge.” This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years in thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to History and Technology Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Museum Conservation Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology In these series, the Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press (SISP) publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report on research and collections of the Institution’s museums and research centers. The Smithsonian Contributions Series are distributed via exchange mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world.

  • Response to Public Comments Proposal of Certain Federal Water
    Office of Water Office of Science and Technology Response to Public Comments Proposal of Certain Federal Water Quality Standards for Maine December 2016 Introduction The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing federal Clean Water Act (CWA) water quality standards (WQS) for certain waters under the state of Maine’s jurisdiction. EPA is finalizing human health criteria (HHC) to protect the sustenance fishing designated use in waters in Indian lands and in waters subject to sustenance fishing rights under the Maine Implementing Act (MIA), based on a fish consumption rate that represents an unsuppressed level of fish consumption by the four federally recognized tribes in Maine. EPA is finalizing six additional WQS for waters in Indian lands in Maine, two WQS for all waters in Maine including waters in Indian lands, and one WQS for waters in Maine outside of Indian lands. These WQS take into account the best available science, including local and regional information, as well as applicable EPA policies, guidance, and legal requirements, to protect human health and aquatic life. EPA is promulgating these WQS to address various disapprovals of Maine’s standards that EPA issued in February, March, and June 2015, and to address the Administrator’s determination that Maine’s HHC are not adequate to protect the designated use of sustenance fishing for certain waters. In developing this final rule, EPA carefully considered the public comments and feedback received from interested parties. EPA provided a 60-day public comment period after publishing the proposed rule in the Federal Register on April 20, 2016. In addition, EPA held two virtual public hearings on June 7th and 9th, 2016, to discuss the contents of the proposed rule and accept verbal public comments.

The market for waterfront properties remains strong, and the problem facing realtors in the recent economic downturn is not lack of buyers but “lack of inventory,” not enough land to meet the high demand. Aging baby boomers are seeking out coastal retreats as they look toward retirement. Telecommuters are escaping to Maine, enjoying its natural amenities without losing access to clients. Investors are finding that shorefront property in Maine is a “safe haven,” a sound investment in uncertain times.

The surveys were conducted to quantify temporal patterns in blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) larval settlement in large mussel beds in coastal eastern Maine. For results of the survey, see the dataset Settlement. Acquisition Description Location: Coastal waters of eastern Maine, from Frenchman Bay to the Canadian border. Locations and descriptions for station codes used in this dataset can be found in the dataset: MuLTI-2 Mussel Station List Sampling and Analytical Methodology: Three settlement plates were deployed randomly along a 6 m transect in a blue mussel ( Mytilus edulis) bed at each station. Settlement plates were constructed by gluing 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad to a 1/8 inch thick and 9.7 cm diameter piece of PVC (with a 0.95 cm diameter mounting hole) with PVC heavy cement. Total area of each settlement plate was 73.2 cm^2.
