The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife receives Federal funds from the U.S. Department of the Inte- rior. Accordingly, all Department programs and activities must be operated free from discrimination in regard to race, color, national origin, age or handicap. Any person who believes that he or she has been discriminated against should write to The Office of Equal Opportunity, U.S. Department of the Interior, Washington, D.C. 2 FunDing WilDliFE AnD HAbitat StewardshiP Many staff salaries and most of the administrative costs of the Wildlife Division’s management programs for game animals and furbearers are funded by federal Pittman-Robertson Funds [FY12 $3,272,274]. Pittman-Robertson (PR) Funds are derived from an 11% excise tax on sporting arms, ammunition, and archery equipment, and a 10% excise tax on handguns. Pittman-Robertson Funds require state matching dollars, which come from a portion of the hunting license revenues. The Wildlife Division also receives federal funding for endangered species and nongame wildlife management in the form of State Wildlife Grants [SWG; FY12 $491,152], originating from royalty payments paid by petroleum industry operating on federal lands, and the so-called “Section 6” funds [FY12 $75,000] from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the recovery of threatened and endangered species or to help recover a species before it becomes ‘listed’ under the Endangered Species Act. Contributions to the Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Fund (“Chickadee Check-off”), and purchases of Conservation License (Loon) Plates provide the core “State” funding for Maine’s nongame and endangered species programs [FY12 $311,459]. All donated money is deposited into the dedicated Maine Endangered and Nongame Wildlife Fund - a special, interest-bearing account from which money can only be spent for the conservation of Maine’s nongame wildlife that includes rare, threatened, or endangered species (Table 1). These funds are used to match and spend the federal SWG funds just as revenues from hunting licenses and tags are used to match and leverage PR fund $s for the conservation and management of wildlife. The Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund, derived from the sale of conservation instant-scratch lottery tickets, can also provide an important source of “State” funding for Maine’s wildlife conservation programs, largely for nongame and endangered species. The Division also receives funding from the Oil Spill Conveyance Fund [FY12 $112,806], which is used for oil spill preparedness and response. Throughout the pages of the 2012 Research & Management Report is a summary of last year’s accomplishments with much help from our conservation partners. You will see how efficiently we can assess fish and wildlife resources and habitats using cooperative partnerships, volunteer assistance, and new technologies. There is always need to do more.

Copies of this pamphlet were rare, and Mr. Moss and some of his friends wished .to add other material of interest and bring it up to date, making a book that, published by the Prouts Neck Association, should interest summer residents ·in the story of this beautiful headland and in the endeavors to preserve its native charms.

The mouth of the river is nesting habitat for endangered piping plovers. Contact Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and U.S. Fish and Wildlife. The river mouth is also wintering habitat for threatened Harlequin Ducks. Scarborough marsh is critical shorebird habitat with extensive shellfish beds and habitat for many species of special concern, including plants. Aquaculture sites. Sturgeon and striped bass. Strategy Information Strategy Purpose To exclude oil from upper Scarborough marsh. Work Assignment These are secondary strategies meant to keep product in lower Scarborough River.

  • Habitat Restoration in Maine Since Colonial Times, Maine’S Natural Environment Has Been Subject to Serious Abuse
    U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Update Habitat restoration in Maine Since colonial times, Maine’s natural environment has been subject to serious abuse. Gulf of Maine Maine’s rivers, for example, are burdened with excessive sedimentation, loss of riparian Coastal Program vegetation and thousands of dams -- which can cause dramatic declines in searun fish and waterbird populations, degrade riverine habitat values, and reduce access for recreational users. Coastal island nesting birds may be threatened by disturbances associated with second home developments, timber harvesting, recreational use, aquaculture and predation. Coastal marshes have been degraded by drainage ditches, filling, invasive plants, road crossings and undersized culverts. Increasingly, individuals and groups are becoming interested in restoring habitat. Gulf of Maine Coastal Program is committed to working in voluntary partnerships with all interested partners to restore the ecological vitality and the recreational and economic values of rivers, nesting islands and coastal marshes -- for migratory fish, birds, endangered species -- and for all of us. Gulf of Maine Coastal Program works with biologists, engineers, hydrologists, local residents and landowners to identify, plan , fund, permit, implement and monitor habitat Installing plug in man-made drainage ditch to restoration projects. With more than $2.6 million in financial support from the U.S. Fish restore salt marsh hydrology and Wildlife Service's Coastal Program, Fish Passage Funds, Tribal Grants, National Fish
