Top Recreation Destinations & Towns, Etc. in LUPC Jurisdiction Top Recreation Destinations & Towns, etc. in LUPC Jurisdiction The Maine Land Use Planning Commission (LUPC) serves as the planning and zoning authority for the unorganized and deorganized areas of the State, including townships and plantations. These areas either have no local government or have chosen to cede their land use controls to the State. These areas encompass more than 10.4 million acres and include the largest contiguous undeveloped area in the northeast. The unorganized and deorganized areas include several coastal islands and portions of downeast Maine, and stretch across the western mountains and up to the Canadian border.

Heritage landscapes are those places that are created by human interaction with the natural environment. They are dynamic and evolving; they reflect the history of the community and provide a sense of place; they show the natural ecology that influenced the land use in a community; and heritage landscapes often have scenic qualities. This wealth of landscapes is central to each community’s character; yet heritage landscapes are vulnerable and ever changing. For this reason it is important to take the first steps toward their preservation by identifying those landscapes that are particularly valued by the community – a favorite local farm, a distinctive neighborhood or mill village, a unique natural feature, an inland river corridor or the rocky coast. To this end, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and the Essex National Heritage Commission (ENHC) have collaborated to bring the Heritage Landscape Inventory program (HLI) to communities in Essex County.

At the meeting of the Board of Agriculture held at Calais. a resolution was passed, urging the importance to our agri­ cultural literature of the publication of surveys of the differ­ ent counties in the State, giving brief notes of their history, industrial resources and agricultural capabilities ; and direct­ ing the Secretary to procure such contributions for the annual reports. In conformity with this resolution, and also as ear­ ning out the settled policy of the Board in this respect— evidences of which are found in the publication of similar reports in previous volumes—I give herewith a Survey of the County of Hancock, written by a gentleman who has been a member of the Board of Agriculture, uninterruptedly, from its first organization, and who is in every way well fitted for the work, which he has so well performed.

  • East Point History Text from Uniguide Audiotour
    East Point History Text from UniGuide audiotour Last updated October 14, 2017 This is an official self-guided and streamable audio tour of East Point, Nahant. It highlights the natural, cultural, and military history of the site, as well as current research and education happening at Northeastern University’s Marine Science Center. Content was developed by the Northeastern University Marine Science Center with input from the Nahant Historical Society and Nahant SWIM Inc., as well as Nahant residents Gerry Butler and Linda Pivacek. 1. Stop 1 Welcome to East Point and the Northeastern University Marine Science Center. This site, which also includes property owned and managed by the Town of Nahant, boasts rich cultural and natural histories. We hope you will enjoy the tour Settlement in the Nahant area began about 10,000 years ago during the Paleo-Indian era. In 1614, the English explorer Captain John Smith reported: the “Mattahunts, two pleasant Iles of grouse, gardens and corn fields a league in the Sea from the Mayne.” Poquanum, a Sachem of Nahant, “sold” the island several times, beginning in 1630 with Thomas Dexter, now immortalized on the town seal. The geography of East Point includes one of the best examples of rocky intertidal habitat in the southern Gulf of Maine, and very likely the most-studied as well. This site is comprised of rocky headlands and lower areas that become exposed between high tide and low tide. This zone is easily identified by the many pools of seawater left behind as the water level drops during low tide. The unique conditions in these tidepools, and the prolific diversity of living organisms found there, are part of what interests scientists, as well as how this ecosystem will respond to warming and rising seas resulting from climate change.

  • Overview of Tasmania's Offshore Islands and Their Role in Nature

Bryant and Stephen Harris (with one text-figure, two tables, eight plates and two appendices) Bryant, S.L. & Harris, S. 2020 (9:xii): Overview of Tasmania’s offshore islands and their role in nature conservation.Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 154: 83–106. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.154.83 ISSN: 0080–4703. Tasmanian Land Conservancy, PO Box 2112, Lower Sandy Bay, Tasmania 7005, Australia (SLB*); Department of Archaeology and Natural History, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601 (SH). *Author for correspondence: Email: [email protected] Since the 1970s, knowledge of Tasmania’s offshore islands has expanded greatly due to an increase in systematic and regional surveys, the continuation of several long-term monitoring programs and the improved delivery of pest management and translocation programs. However, many islands remain data-poor especially for invertebrate fauna, and non-vascular flora, and information sources are dispersed across numerous platforms. While more than 90% of Tasmania’s offshore islands are statutory reserves, many are impacted by a range of disturbances, particularly invasive species with no decision-making framework in place to prioritise their management. This paper synthesises the significant contribution offshore islands make to Tasmania’s land-based natural assets and identifies gaps and deficiencies hampering their protection. A continuing focus on detailed gap-filling surveys aided by partnership restoration programs and collaborative national forums must be strengthened if we are to capitalise on the conservation benefits islands provide in the face of rapidly changing environmental conditions and pressure for future use.

  • Population Status of Arctic, Common, and Roseate Terns in the Gulf of Maine with Observations of Five Downeast Colonies
    POPULATION STATUS OF ARCTIC, COMMON, AND ROSEATE TERNS IN THE GULF OF MAINE WITH OBSERVATIONS OF FIVE DOWNEAST COLONIES. prepared by: David C. ~olger and Matthew P. Drennan -1- Declines in numbers of Arctic Terns Sterna paradisaea~ Common Terns S.hirundo, and Roseate Terns S.dougallii, throughout the northeast have been noted since 1940 (Drury 1973, Korshgen 1978, Nisbet 1973). Recent observations of Arctic and Common Terns in the Gulf of Maine have indicated a continuation and potential heightening of trends noted over the past forty years. Comparisons between counts of Arctic Terns by Drury in 1972-73 (Drury, 1973) and by Drury and Folger in 1983 (unpublished data), have indicated a population decline of as much as 40% over the last decade. Furthermore, the most recent complete survey of Common Terns in the state, done in 1977, indicated a parallel decline of 30%. Reductions in breeding habitat and in number of Roseate Terns has prompted ·fedet·"~"d considet-aticln ·fol~ "thl~eab~rH?~d" ~;;tatus (Nisbet, 1980). Because of a concern for terns in general and warnings indicated by previous surveys our work was initiated to further clarify the tern situation in the Gulf of Maine and to investigate the reasons for the decline in numbers. In the summer of 1984 we censused the outer islands of the Maine coast for terns from Metinic Island, at the western edge of Penobscot Bay, to Old Man Island, east of Cutler. We made detailed observations on five of the islands in order to examine the various factors that influence tern production.
