    irds find Maine attractive for many of the same reasons we do—the state offers a unique blend of landscapes spanning from mountains to the sea, with forests, grasslands, rivers, marshes, and long coastlines in between. B Where we find beautiful places to hike and kayak, camp and relax, birds find the habitat they need for their survival. But while Maine’s diverse habitats serve an important role for over IBAs 400 bird species—some threatened, endangered, or of regional conservation in concern—the state’s not immune to a growing list of threats that puts these birds at further risk. Habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation due to development, toxins such as mercury and lead, oil spills on the coast and Maine inland waters, and climate change are top among them. BY ANDREW COLVIN In the face of these threats, a crucial step in conserving Maine’s birds is to identify the areas of the state that are most important for breeding, wintering, and migration. After several years of working toward that goal, Maine Audubon Lists Maine Audubon has recently completed the first phase of its Important 22 of the Most Important Bird Areas (IBA) program, identifying 22 areas across Maine that are vital Places in Maine for Vulnerable Birds to state—and even global—bird populations.

NARRATIVE REPORT COASTAL MAINE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE Jan. - Dec. 1966 General On July 26, 1966 the MBCC authorized the acquisition of the three southern-most units of the Coastal Maine National Wildlife Refuge, specifically the Lower Wells Marsh, the Moody Beach Marsh, and the Brave Boat Harbor Marsh. The refuge was officially established on December 16, 1966 when the first land tract totaling l6 acres on the Lower Wells unit was acquired by the Government. The ultimate acreage to be acquired with duck stamp monies will form a National Wildlife Refuge of approximately 4,308 acres. Since no data was taken for this period, no weather information, wildlife population figures, or narrative report forms will be included in this report. However, an initial section on history, not ordinarily included in a narrative report, will be presented. The Coastal Maine National Wildlife Refuge, lying along the south­ ern coast of Maine will consist of ten units. All are located be­ tween Kittery Point and Portland, Maine along the Atlantic coast east of U.S. Route 1. The southern-most unit is 35 miles north of the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge and the northern-most unit is 235 miles southwest of the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge. The individual units are as follows: 1.

  • Inventory of Habitat Modifications to Tidal Inlets in the US Atlantic Coast Breeding Range of the Piping Plover
    Inventory of Habitat Modifications to Tidal Inlets in the U.S. Atlantic Coast Breeding Range of the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) prior to Hurricane Sandy: Maine to the North Shore of Long Island1 Tracy Monegan Rice Terwilliger Consulting, Inc. May 2015 (revised July 2016) Recovery Task 1.2 of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Recovery Plan for the piping plover (Charadrius melodus) prioritizes the maintenance of “natural coastal formation processes that perpetuate high quality breeding habitat,” specifically discouraging the “construction of structures or other developments that will destroy or degrade plover habitat” (Task 1.21), and the “interference with natural processes of inlet formation, migration, and closure” (Task 1.22) (USFWS 1996, pp. 65-66). This assessment fills a data need to identify such habitat modifications that have altered natural coastal processes and the resulting abundance, distribution, and condition of currently existing habitat in the breeding range. Four previous studies provided these data for the United States (U.S.) continental migration and overwintering range of the piping plover (Rice 2012a, 2012b) and the southern portion of the U.S. Atlantic Coast breeding range (Rice 2014, 2015) and additional reports will assess the status of these two habitats in the breeding area immediately following and 3 years after Hurricane Sandy. This assessment provides these data for one habitat type – namely sandy tidal inlets within the northern portion of the breeding range along the Atlantic coast of the U.S. A separate report will provide data for sandy beach habitat in the northern portion of the U.S. Atlantic Coast breeding range.

  • Morphodynamics of Tidal Inlet Systems in Maine
    Maine Geological Survey Studies in Maine Geology: Volume 5 1989 Morphodynamics of Tidal Inlet Systems in Maine 1 2 Duncan M. FitzGeraui, Jonathan M. Lincoln • 3 1 L. Kenneth Fink, Jr. , and Dabney W. Caldwel/ 1Departm ent of Geology Boston University Boston, Massachusetts 02215 2Department of Geological Sciencies Northwestern University Evanston, Illinois 60201 3Department of Geology University of Maine Orono, Maine 04469 ABSTRACT The occurrence of tidal inlets along the coast of Maine is tied closely to the structural geology and glacial history of this region. Most of the inlets are found along the southern arcuate-embayment shoreline where sand sources, consisting of glaciomarine sediments and other glacial deposits, were sufficient to build swash-aligned barriers between pronounced bedrock headlands. Along the peninsula coast of Maine, tidal inlets also occur at the mouths of the Kennebec and Sheepscot Rivers where large quantities of glaciofluvial sands were deposited during deglacia­ tion. The remainder of the southeastward facing coast was stripped of its preglacial sediment cover by the southerly moving glaciers. The thin tills that were left behind yield little sand and, thus, barriers and inlets are generally absent. Small to large-sized inlets (width= 50-200 m) in Maine are anchored next to bedrock outcrops and are bordered on their opposite sides by sandy spits. Despite the ubiquitous name "river inlet," they normally have little fresh water discharge compared to their salt water tidal prisms. The backbarriers of these inlets are expansive and would produce relatively large tidal prisms if high Spartina marshes had not filled most of the region, leaving little open water area.
