These projects have conserved 1,038,183 acres of wildlife habitat. NAWCA funding of more than $33.3 million stimulated partner contributions of more than $166.9 million. These figures do not include multi-state projects. SCHOODIC MTN TO PENINSULA COASTAL MAINE PARTNERSHIP This project is focused on increasing protection of the Schoodic Peninsula and represents a unique opportunity to increase the protected acreages of high-quality coastal wetlands and islands and increase the link between the coastal habitats and the extensive inland freshwater wetlands and forest to the north. This project also increases the protection of islands in the Acadia Archipelago, a group of islands that is one of the largest networks of conserved lands along the heavily populated Atlantic Coast. The project will connect and buffer existing protected lands, preserve, expand and improve conditions for wildlife populations and, provide new public recreational opportunities. This proposal will leverage NAWCA funds with matching fund to protect 2,196 acres including eight fee simple acquisitions, one fee simple donation, two easement acquisitions and conservation project tracts host an exceptional diversity of the region's rarest species, including harlequin ducks, Barrow's goldeneye, all three species of scoter, two species of phalarope, least bitterns and more.

    Focus Areas of Statewide Ecological Significance: Kennebec Estuary Focus Areas of Statewide Ecological Significance Kennebec Estuary WHY IS THIS AREA SIGNIFICANT? The Kennebec Estuary Focus Area contains more than 20 percent of Maine’s tidal marshes, a significant percentage of Maine’s sandy beach and associated dune Biophysical Region habitats, and globally rare pitch pine • Central Maine Embayment woodland communities. More than two • Cacso Bay Coast dozen rare plant species inhabit the area’s diverse natural communities. Numerous imperiled species of animals have been documented in the Focus Area, and it contains some of the state’s best habitat for bald eagles. OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONSERVATION » Work with willing landowners to permanently protect remaining undeveloped areas. » Encourage town planners to improve approaches to development that may impact Focus Area functions. » Educate recreational users about the ecological and economic benefits provided by the Focus Area. » Monitor invasive plants to detect problems early. » Find ways to mitigate past and future contamination of the watershed.

    A LATE MARITIME WOODLAND PESKOTOMUHKATI FISHERY FROM THE MAINLAND QUODDY REGION, SOUTHWESTERN NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA by W. Jesse Webb B.A. (Hons.), Anthropology, 2009 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Academic Unit of Anthropology Supervisors: Susan E. Blair, Ph.D, Anthropology, Chair Matthew W. Betts, Ph.D, Anthropology Examining Board: Darcy J. Dignam, M.A., Anthropology Richard A. Cunjak, Ph.D., Biology This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK April 2018 © William Jesse Webb, 2018 ABSTRACT The nature of precontact Indigenous fisheries and their significance to subsistence economies, seasonal mobility, and diachronic cultural change remain underdeveloped in the archaeology of the Maritime Peninsula, northeastern North America. This thesis presents an analysis of a precontact fishery from BgDs-15, a small shell-bearing site located on the northern mainland of Passamaquoddy Bay, southwestern New Brunswick, Canada. Several hundred bones recovered during the 2004 field excavations and over 3,000 fish remains from midden column and bulk feature samples were examined. Most of these fish bones are attributable to Atlantic tomcod (Microgadus tomcod Walbaum, 1792) and unidentified, tomcod-sized gadids, with some herring (Clupeidae) present. Multiple lines of complementary evidence, including taxonomic composition, relative abundances, skeletal element frequency, seasonality, and the ethnohistoric record were examined to produce a high-resolution analysis of the BgDs-15 fishery and provide insight into ancestral Peskotomuhkati settlement-subsistence strategies during the Late Maritime Woodland period (ca. 1350–550 BP). ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The process of developing this thesis has, on the one hand, been the ideal of curiosity-driven academic research and, on the other, a Sisyphean personal struggle.

    8 COMMERCIAL FISHERIES REVIE'..l Vol. 11, No o 10 THE MUSSEL RESOURCES OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC iREGIONS PART 11- OBSERVATIONS ON THE BIOLOGY AND THE METHODS OF COLLECTING AND PROCESSING THE MUSSEL By Leslie W. Scattergood ~'" and Clyde C. Taylor -~H;~ ' INTRODUCTION This is the second of three papers concerning the World War II efforts to develop a mussel fishery in the North Atlantic region. The first article dealt with the survey to discover whether supplies o! mussels were great enough to sup­ port a large fishery. The present paper is concerned with biolcgical and techno­ logical observations made during the mussel survey. SIZES OF MUSSELS Table 3 reveals some interesting characteristics of the size distribution of the mussels on the beds. An examination of the table shows that there are many localities in which there is no well defined and distinct mode indicative of the young from the summer's set. Only Pleasant River, Narraguagus ~ , . ' :' Ri ver, Winter Harbor, and Dux­ ~. bury Bay have such modes. The absence of distinct year-size groups is even more a pparent in the areas below low tide at Ingall's Island, Jim's Island, Moon Ledge, Skillings River, Sheep Island, Mackerel Cove, Maddaket Harbor, and off Brew­ ster. In ttese eight local­ 6 ities, between 92.7 and 100 percent of the mussels were SOME OF THE MUSSEL'S ENEMIES: over two inches in length. I .

Introduction and Recent History Natural tidal flow to the salt marshes on the West Branch of the Pleasant River was shut off in 1940 by the installation of a “clapper dam” at its mouth. Deprived of tidal flow the former salt marsh ceased to perform its role at the head of the food chain in the Pleasant River estuary and became overgrown with fresh water species of vegetation. Since their construction the tide gates have failed several times and required frequent and expensive repairs. In 1998 the Maine DOT carried out a major renovation. During the same period of time land owners along the Branch asked the Town of Addison to con- sider removing the tide gates and restoring the historic salt marshes.

  • The Mussel Resources of the North Atlantic Region
    United states Depa tment of the Interior, Oscar ~ . Chapman, Secretary Fish and ice, Albert M. Day, Director J Fishery Leaflet 364 Wash in ton 25 D. C. Januar 1950 THE MUSSEL RESOURCES OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC REGION ~RT J --THE SURVEY TO DISCOVER THE LOCATIONS AND AREAS OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC MUSSEL-PRODUCING BEDS By Leslie W. Scattergood~~ and Clyde C, Taylor ~d~ '!his is the first of three papers discussing the World War II pro­ motion of the North Atlantic mussel fishery. The present article is primarily concerned "'i th the quantitative resul ts of a survey of the productivi~ of mussel areas. INTRODUCTION During the recent war, the fishing industry had tte problem of increasing its production despite relative shortages of manpower, equipment, and materials o One of the ways of efficiently augmenting the catch of fish and shellfish was to uti­ lize species ordinarily disregarded. One of the probable sources of sea food was the edible mussel (yGtilus edulis), which is so common along , the North Atlantic Coast of the United States. This species cap be harvested dur­ ing that time of the year when the small-boat fishery is least active. In the late winter and the spring months, the mussels a,re in good con­ dition for marketing, as it is then that they reach their fattest condition, and in this period other fishing activities are at a low level. The mussel, although relatively unknown to the American public p has attained great popularity in Europe. Large quantities have been consumed in European coun­ tries for hundreds of yearso The annual English, Welsh, and Scotch production of this shellfish, as re­ corded in the statistical reports of the British Ministry of Agriculture and Fish­ eries" ave,raged about 19 million pounds ("in the shell" weight) for the lS-year period between 1924 and 1938.

  • Natural Resources Chapter
    Natural Resources Chapter (For review – September 8, 2015) Vision: Richmond residents are responsible stewards of our natural resources, including open space, forest, water bodies and wetlands. We balance growth and development with the preservation, promotion and continued accessibility of our resources for recreation, wildlife habitat, agriculture, and scenic values. Introduction This chapter provides a summary about the natural systems which comprise Richmond’s physical environment. The following areas will be discussed to determine how our natural features relate to the overall health and vitality of the town and its future development and land use patterns: geology, topography, soils, surface and ground water, land cover, and unique natural areas and wildlife habitat. A realistic assessment and appreciation of our environmental features will allow us to both identify constraints on development and to identify areas appropriate for development where negative impacts to natural resources are minimal and costs are lower for construction. The town’s natural resources are regulated by a combination of federal, state and local laws and regulations and often address the same feature. Some resources require multiple levels of review and approval before land development may occur while others are less restrictive. The information provided in this chapter is designed to help the community understand its natural resources and make sure land use planning and development occurs in such a way that future generations can enjoy the values and beauty of the town. Watersheds Richmond is divided into eight major watersheds, each with its own physical characteristics, natural environments and patterns of development. All of the land area within the town eventually drains into the Kennebec River.
