To thrive long-term, we need to continue to actively welcome people to the region to supplement our workforce and be part of the next generation of entrepreneurs. The Chamber very much wants to be a part of that process.

Private excursions are also available when booked in advance and often include drinks and snacks. Robert Mitchell © 6 Learn more at BoothbayHarbor.com ON THE WATER WATER THE ON ON THE WATER Boothbay Harbor has long been considered by mariners to be the finest deep- water port north of Boston and has come to be known as “The Boating Capital of New England.” As a mid-Maine stopping point on the passage between Casco Bay to the southwest and Penobscot Bay to the northeast, its beauty and quiet ambiance have no equal. Boothbay Harbor is bound by the Sheepscot and Damariscotta rivers. Tucked in and around the harbor are low-lying islands, promontories off the mainland, and pockets of water such as Linekin Bay, Townsend Gut, Mill Cove, and many other gunkholes that invite exploration. The harbor’s V-shape creates idyllic, flat waters for sailing, cruising, and kayaking with an afternoon sea breeze that typically arrives around midday. The waters off the coast of Maine are teeming with wildlife, and the Midcoast region is no exception. Hop on one of our excursion boats for a chance to see whales, puffins, seals, ospreys, and other local wildlife. For visiting boaters,

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.

    PENOBSCOTBAY Maine National Estuary Program Nomination STATE OF MAINE OFFICEOF THE GOVERNOR AUGUSTA. MAINE 04333 ANGUS S. KING, JR. GOVERNOR March 6, 1995 Administrator Carol Browner US. Environmental Protection Agency 401 M. Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20460 Dear Ms. Browner: 1 am pleased to submit a State of Maine Conference Agreement that nominates Penobscot Bay for designation in the National Estuary Program. The Agreement describes the Bay's key issues and actions to respond to them, how we will continue to involve the public in developing and implementing solutions to these most pressing issues, and how we propose to finance this estuary project. Our nomination for Penobscot Bay is consistent with EPA's December; 1994 guidance that calls for considerable initiative by a state before requesting designation. Public and private entities have worked cooperatively since 1992 and made remarkable progress. Two major conferences have brought together all levels of government, the nonprofit community, Bay businesses and the public to talk openly about key issues and possible solutions. These and other activities described in the attached document have laid a solid foundation for a successful national estuaq project. I believe our estuary project will be successfully implemented because of the active participation of five state agencies over the past three years. These agencies (the Departments of Environmental Protection, Marine Resources, Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Economic and Community Developmenf and the State Planning Office) are committed to this project and I am confident that in concert with our nonprofit, municipal and business partners we will m&e important strides to protect and restore Penobscot Bay.

  • Website Burnt Island Lighthouse Restoration 2020.Docx
    Restoration Report Burnt Island Light Station Summer 2020 Property Owned by: State of Maine, Department of Marine Resources Project Funded by: Donations to Keepers of the Burnt Island Light Project Managed by: Department of Marine Resources, Bureau of General Services Report Written by: DMR Education Director, Elaine P. Jones Abstract On November 9, 1821, Keeper Joshua B. Cushing lit up the Burnt Island Lighthouse for the very first time. After his tenure, 30 other men followed his footsteps up those winding stairs into the lantern-room to illuminate Boothbay Harbor’s guiding light. This monument of hope and integrity has served mariners for nearly 200 years and its devoted keepers served it in return. However, in 1988 automation took away the last true lighthouse keeper, thus removing the love, attention, and financial backing that went into maintaining a lighthouse, keeper’s dwelling, and outbuildings. Built the year after Maine became a state, the lighthouse’s rubble-stone construction has never been altered making it Maine’s oldest “original” lighthouse. From afar and with a fresh coat of paint each year, the iconic beacon looked pretty good, but under a thick layer of stucco it was a different story. Not only had its 199-year-old mortar crumbled; its lantern-room and spiral stairs had rusted; its interior brick liner needed repairs; and surfaces inside and out needed paint. With its 200th Anniversary just one year away, there was no better time than now to restore the entire Burnt Island Light Station. It was high time to stop the deterioration and take action to preserve what was left and replace what was in disrepair.
