The Holocene History of Maine's Beaches Can Be Interpreted from Preserved Sedi- Mentary Structures Beneath the Existing Beachface, Dunes, and Marsh Wind de osited sedimentar structures Wind deposited sedimentary structures in- clude wind ripple marks in wind deposits. Dune fields dominated by parabolic dunes have a high incidence of steeply dipping beds dipping away from the dom- inant wind direction!, and wind deposited sand may be distinguished from wave deposited sand on that basis. Aeolian flats behind the frontal dune ridge or on top of relict berms are not so easily distinguished from wave deposited sand be- cause their laminae resemble those of the berm surface. Heavy minerals, such as garnet sands, are left in layers beneath accreted beaches and are relicts of the erosional position of the shoreline before accretion. They may also mark the interface between wave deposited and wind deposited sand in sediment cores through the backdune. A schematic cross-sectioanl view of a beach with characteristic laminations and cross laminations, heavy mineral layer, and coarse lag surface at the past ero- sional limit is presented in Figure 15. The value of sedimentary structures is that all of the above features and their many variants are keys to the nature of present and past depositional environments. The Holocene history of Maine's beaches can be interpreted from preserved sedi- mentary structures beneath the existing beachface, dunes, and marsh. Figure 15 METHODS OF LOCATING SANDY BEACHES AND DUNES Maine's sandy beaches and dunes have been located by an extensive inventory effort: 1. Three years of field studies, coastal overflights and aerial photo studies these were part of an ongoing investigation of Maine's beaches by L.K. Fink, Jr. and R.J. Foster of the Department of Oceanography, University of Maine. Although this study identified forty-four principal Maine beaches with a cumulative length of 60 km, many small sandy beaches were excluded. 2. A high altitude overflight in June, 1977 this flight produced a photo atlas for sandy beaches north of Reid State Park. 3. Inspection of the vertical aerial photo collection of the Maine Bureau of Geology and 112 Marine Geology Maps by Barry S. Timson, Bureau of Geology. From the 112 Marine Geology Maps a complete list Table II! of all sandy beaches in Maine was made". From this list twenty-nine beaches were selected for field checking based on certain geological and botanical criteria, Twenty-seven beaches It should be noted that many of the beaches identified as sandy on the Marine Geology Maps are likely to be boulder, cobble, gravel or mixed sand and gravel beaches due to resolution limitations of vertical air photos available for Maine. -32- werevisited in June, July and Augustof 1977and a total of thirty-seven proposed criticaI areas were delineated. The two beachesnot visited are on coastal islands AndrewsBeach, Long Island, CascoBay and a north-facing pocket beachon Seven HundredAcre Island, PenobscotBay!. Thesetwo areas are recommendedfor future field checking. Thetwenty-seven beaches visited representapproximately 20 km of beachlength. This compareswith a total of 121km of sandybeach based on the Marine GeologyMaps and 60 kr8based on the list by Fink and Foster.

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.

    XlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXl Yarns Spun to Order: Harriet Beecher Stowe’s The Pearl of Orr’s Island and the Advent of Maine Summer Tourism Downloaded from http://direct.mit.edu/tneq/article-pdf/93/1/7/1793446/tneq_a_00792.pdf by guest on 01 October 2021 ARRIET BEECHER STOWE’s The Pearl of Orr’s Island, H a pioneering novel in the “local color” genre, was a sturdy bestseller in its time, going through forty editions between and . The height of its popularity coincided directly with the coming of summer tourism to the islands of Maine’s Casco Bay. Especially during a period from the Harpswell Steamboat Company’s founding in to America’s entry into World War I in , thousands of tourists poured onto tiny Orr’s Island each summer hoping to meet favorite characters from Pearl and visit their homes as well as the novel’s outdoor locations. Islanders responded by creating a literal cottage industry, turn- ing their houses into the homes of the Pearl, Captain Kittridge, or Aunt Roxy, charging admission to caves and coves, and even doing some role-playing. Feuds broke out among islanders over the authenticity of these lucrative competing concessions, and the Pearl phenomenon was so pronounced that it even created a rush for summer real estate. In , Minneapolis journalist Frank R. Stockton wrote: “After Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe published her ‘The Pearl of Orr’s Island,’ that neglected piece of insular realty came into the market and for some time the rush to get eligible tracts and lots bore some resemblance to Editions and formats, “Pearl of Orr’s Island,” OCLC WorldCat, https://www .worldcat.org (accessed November , ).

  • Return the Tides Resource Book 1-1 Tidal Marsh Formation 1-2
    Return the Tides Resource Book World Wide Web Version CONSERVATION LAW FOUNDATION by Erno R. Bonebakker, Portland ME with contributions by Peter Shelley, CLF, Rockland ME Kim Spectre, CLF, Rockland ME CREDITS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This resource book was developed during the Casco Bay “Return the Tides” pilot project in the summer of 1999. In large part, it is an adaptation and development of the marsh assessment manual developed by Rob Bryan of Maine Audubon and Michele Dionne of Wells NERR1 and the methods developed by the Parker River Clean Water Association in Newburyport, MA.2 Particular credit is due to Rob Bryan of Maine Audubon Society and Dr. Michele Dionne of the Wells Reserve for their guidance in the preparation of this manual. Rob’s unfailing support and advice has been a particular help. David Mountain and Tim Purinton of the Parker River Clean Water Association in Newburyport, MA were also critical in compiling their field methods handbook describing a simple way to develop and record useful inventory information using volunteers.. In addition, this book is the product of the thoughts and vision of a number of people who have dedicated themselves to estuaries: the science of estuary systems, the education of the public about the wonders of these systems, and the protection and restoration of these special places. They were completely generous in allowing us to borrow shamelessly from their writings and thinking and this effort in Maine would not have been possible without their gracious support. To that end, we would like to thank the following individuals and commend our readers to their efforts directly.

At Giant’s Stairs, views of bedrock and eastern Casco Bay are easily accessed and enjoyed along an easy half mile loop shoreline path. This 26-acre property was donated to the town in 1910 by Captain Henry and Joanna Sinnett. An additional one-acre parcel was donated to the Harpswell Heritage Land Trust by Adelaide McIntosh.

The Casco Bay Group is made up of a series of metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rocks that were deposited in the Ordovician, between 450 and 470 Million years ago (West and Hussey, 2016). Rocks of the Casco Bay Group are found in a 100-mile-long northeast-trending belt extending from Portland in the south to just south of Bangor in the north (West and Hussey, 2016).

  • Harpswell Neck Area, Maine
    MARITIME SEDIMENTS AND ATLANTIC GEOLOGY 257 Low pressure metamorphism in the Orrs Island - Harpswell Neck area, Maine Gilbert R. Dunn* and Helen M. Lang** Department of Geology and Geography, West Virginia University, Morgantown, West Virginia 26506 Date Received April 18,1988 Date Accepted September 6,1988 The Orrs Island-Harpswell Neck area on the southern Maine coast experienced one major low-pressure metamorphic event, which was synchronous with D2 deformation. Metamorphic grade increases from southwest to northeast toward plutons outside the area. Isograds in pelitic rocks divide the area into garnet, staurolite, staurolite-andalusite, staurolite-sillimanite, and sillimanite zones. At the sillimanite isograd, andalusite began to be replaced by coarse-grained muscovite to form prograde pseudomorphs, while sillimanite formed in the matrix. At slightly higher grade, staurolite was replaced by muscovite pseudomorphs. and additional sillimanite formed. Isograd reactions deduced from changes in AFM topology were located in pressure-temperature space on the basis of experimental and thermodynamic data. The resulting petrogenetic grid constrains the pressure during metamorphism to between 2.3 and 3.0 kbars (230 and 300 MPa). Estimated temperature ranges for each of the metamorphic zones are as follows: garnet zone, <500°C; staurolite zone, 500 to 530°C; staurolite-andalusite zone, 530 to 570°C; staurolite-sillimanite zone, 570 to 590°C; and sillimanite zone, >590°C. Metamorphism in the Orrs Island-Harpswell Neck area is similar to M3 metamorphism in west-central Maine, because both events occurred at pressures where staurolite gave way to sillimanite at high grade, and both were related to plutons. Metamorphism in the study area differs from M3 in west-central Maine in that it produced andalusite at intermediate grade.

  • 1 Dear Maine and Massachusetts Decision Makers, We Urge You to Deny Central Maine Power's (CMP's) Applications for Its New E
    Dear Maine and Massachusetts Decision Makers, We urge you to deny Central Maine Power’s (CMP’s) applications for its New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) project because this proposed transmission line would be bad for the people of Maine and Massachusetts and our economy and environment. CMP’s proposal is designed to provide big benefits to CMP shareholders and Hydro-Québec at the expense of New England. This harmful proposal would: Cut a brand new, 53-mile-long corridor across Maine’s western mountains, harming forests, streams, wetlands, wildlife, and scenic beauty; Suppress the development of clean renewable energy (like wind and solar) in Maine, which would provide greater economic and environmental benefits; and Fail to reduce climate change emissions, and could even increase them. Please reject CMP’s NECEC proposal. Its costs to our people and environment are too great. Maine and Massachusetts deserve better.

In yet another abortive attempt to settle the location of a new Casco Bay Terminal, the Portland Planning Board failed to act on a choice of Hobson's Wharf (at the foot of High St.); or the combined Custom House - Portland Pier site. Unanimous rejection of Hobson's Wharf was voiced by island residents, supplemented by peti­ tions signed by many who could not attend the August 7 public hearing. Custom House was favored more as the lesser of two evils, than an ideal solution in itself. Underlying the testimony was a repeated sug­ gestion that the City look again at the Easterly side of Long Wharf which might be negotiated with owner Tony DeMillo - who, it is understood, ,-1 ,-1 - might be willing to move his Marina to the westerly m side in a more protected area.
