These fisheries have been monitored by periodic season-long creel surveys and aerial angler counts since 1981. Growth rates for salmon declined considerably beginning in the late 1990's; brook trout growth also declined during that period but not as dramatically.

  • 2013 Maine Lakes Report
    Maine Lakes Report 2013 Dear Friends and Stewards of Maine Lakes, This report on the health of Maine lakes reflects the effort of more than 1,000 volunteer citizen scientists throughout Maine who monitored several hundred lake basins throughout the State in 2013. A growing number of VLMP lake monitors have been continuously active for multiple decades, and a few have been involved for most of the 43 years since the Maine Legislature officially authorized volunteer lake monitoring. Their work is a strong testament to the level of public commitment to Maine’s clear, clean lakes, and it is probably not coincidental that our lakes have remained as healthy as they have under the careful watch of these individuals. The Maine Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program (VLMP) is believed to be the longest- standing statewide citizen lake monitoring program in America, having been formed at about the time of the passage of the historic Federal Clean Water Act in 1971. The Mission of the Maine Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program is to help protect Maine lakes through widespread citizen participation in the gathering and dissemination of credible scientific information pertaining to lake health. The VLMP trains, certifies and provides technical support to hundreds of volunteers who monitor a wide range of indicators of water quality, assess watershed health and function, and screen lakes for invasive aquatic plants and animals. In addition to being the primary source of lake data in the State of Maine, VLMP volunteers benefit their local lakes by playing key stewardship and leadership roles in their communities. Our primary partners are the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the US Environmental Protection Agency, which provide a wide range of financial, technical and management support to the program.

Although previous studies have been performed to determine the potential for hydropower development at existing and former dams in Maine, until now no analysis of the raw hydropower potential based on topographic and hydrologic conditions has been available. We feel that this level of analysis is necessary to fill the gap in our knowledge of indigenous hydropower potential.

  • Appendices 32 ______
    APPENDIX 11.7: Information from Expert Interviews In September – December, 2003, as part of its ecoregional planning process, TNC organized a series of six meetings of regional experts to discuss the current status and historical aspects of Maine’s aquatic ecosystems. In conjunction with other databases, the information obtained during these meetings is being used to identify streams / rivers and lakes that appear to be of particular interest from the perspective of conservation planning. This Appendix summarizes much of the information obtained during the expert meetings; it also integrates additional information obtained by MABP via interviews with fisheries biologists, including the early phase of an “anecdotal information-capture” project started in 2004 by MDIFW and MABP. It is important to note that this Appendix is not intended as a comprehensive review of aquatic ecosystems in Maine and should be viewed as a supplement to other data presented in this report. Information in this Appendix inevitably reflects the areas of expertise of the individuals participating in the meetings, incorporating much “anecdotal”-type information that is often not adequately captured in traditional databases. The information content also reflects the need to cover large areas of the state in a limited amount of meeting time. Furthermore, the TNC meetings focused on medium-sized stream watersheds, in the range 30 – 1000 sq. miles. Smaller watersheds were not explicitly discussed during the meetings (although it is recognized that these are “embedded” in the larger watersheds). Large river watersheds (>1000 sq. miles) were also excluded from the discussion since these are automatically incorporated into the series of “focus” watersheds developed by TNC.
