Project Summary (from Proposal) Detect and remove marine debris from the waters of Maine and New Hampshire. Project will focus on a major in-water lobster trap clean-up and accumulated debris at the Isles of Shoals and nearby beaches. Summary of Accomplishments This project resulted in the removal of 35 tons of gear from the coastline of New Hampshire and 6 of the Isles of Shoals. It helped us establish protocols for an offshore gear removal effort, streamline these processes and generated awareness and baseline data on debris on several offshore islands. Perhaps most importantly, it built relationships between a non- profit organization, university-based Sea Grant program, the commercial fishing community and resource managers (NH Fish and Game and Maine Marine Patrol) that led to successful cleanups and will pave the way for future successful efforts. We also piloted a lobster band project to try to build relationships with the New Hampshire fishing community. Lessons Learned 1. It takes time to build the relationships needed between non- profits (Blue Ocean Society), universities (NH Sea Grant), industry (NH commercial fishermen) and natural resource managers (NH Fish and Game and Maine Marine Patrol) to conduct a successful cleanup of derelict gear. 2. Although they are extremely rewarding, cleanups of offshore islands are challenging, difficult to plan and involve many different entities. Even when the best plans are made in advance, the cleanups can be thwarted due to weather or rough seas, especially on islands that have no dock but require landing via skiff. 3. While several successful onshore cleanups were conducted, it took a while to build the relationships needed to conduct an underwater cleanup, which was finally conducted two months after this project had ended. Future proposed cleanups will need to incorporate pay for the conservation officer in their budget if underwater cleanups are to happen. 4. Best management practices to reduce gear loss are worthwhile and some may be effective, but as long as fishing continues there will be a need to clean up derelict gear at least annually, if not more frequently. 5. The lobster bands pilot project was successful in forming a few more connections with lobstermen, but did not have as much support from dealers as anticipated.

Summary of Accomplishments In four to five sentences, provide a brief summary of the project’s key accomplishments and outcomes that were observed or measured. This project resulted in the removal of 35 tons of gear from the coastline of New Hampshire and 6 of the Isles of Shoals. It helped us establish protocols for an offshore gear removal effort, streamline these processes and generated awareness and baseline data on debris on several offshore islands. Perhaps most importantly, it built relationships between a non-profit organization, university-based Sea Grant program, the commercial fishing community and resource managers (NH Fish and Game and Maine Marine Patrol) that led to successful cleanups and will pave the way for future successful efforts. 2. Project Activities & Outcomes Activities Describe the primary activities conducted during this grant and explain any discrepancies between the activities conducted from those that were proposed. 1. Work with fishermen to identify and retrieve gear on shore and at sea, wherever safe and legal, including providing disposal bins for spring lobster trap cleanup, cleaning up DFG on the Isles of Shoals, and removing gear from the water when possible: a. Coordinate and provide disposal bins for the annual spring lobster trap cleanup in April 2012 and 2013 to remove lobster traps and associated gear from the shoreline. Bins will be provided in Rye, NH. i. Bins were provided for spring trap cleanup in May 2012. 1. A total of 4.17 tons were collected. 1 container of combustibles equaling 3.41 tons was collected and transported to Covanta; another container filled with metal equaled .76 tons (this was transported to Schnitzer) ii. Bins were provided for spring trap cleanup in May 2013. Twenty tons of gear were collected in bins placed in Rye and Hampton, NH. iii. Due to leftover money for bins, the grant was extended and a third spring trap cleanup was conducted in May 2014. During this cleanup, 6.38 tons of gear were collected. iv. In total, 30.55 tons of gear was collected during the spring trap cleanups. v. The cleanups were publicized via a press release sent out by NH Fish and Game, our NH marine debris blog at nhmarinedebris.blogspot.com, word-of-mouth at our monthly beach cleanups and volunteer trainings, public programs, our web site and Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (new in 2014). vi. A portion of this project that ended up being outside of the proposed work was that we conducted work to build relationships with the New Hampshire fishing community by purchasing lobster bands with NHSeafood.com/bands printed on them and distributing them to 5 local fishermen. This was to encourage and recognize fishermen for participating in marine debris projects while improving the market for local, responsibly harvested lobsters. The web page NHSeafood.com/bands was created as a way to highlight the fishermen who participated as well as to educate consumers about both sustainably harvested lobsters in NH and marine debris. This side project was also a good way to establish new relationships with several new lobstermen which is key to the continuation of derelict gear removal. b.

Mention of trade names or commercial products does not constitute their endorsement by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. i. Cleanups were conducted from June-September 2012 at Appledore Island (twice), Star Island, and White and Seavey Islands (twice). Approximately 94 lobster traps were removed, but were not disposed in a FFE bin due to miscommunication regarding bin delivery when we needed it. Transportation for cleanup staff and volunteers and hauling of derelict gear was provided by a fisherman based in Rye, NH. ii. Cleanups were conducted from May-September 2013 at Star Island (3 times), Appledore Island (twice), White Island, Seavey Island, Smuttynose Island and Malaga Island. A total of 1.11 tons of debris were collected, including .85 tons of derelict traps, rope and buoys removed from Appledore Island. iii. Since the grant was extended, we also did additional cleanups at the Isles of Shoals in 2014. Cleanups were conducted at Star Island (5/14/14), Appledore Island (5/20/14), Smuttynose Island (5/29/14) and White Island (6/16/14), which resulted in the removal of 0.90 tons of marine debris, including 185 lobster traps/trap pieces, 105 buoys and 78 pieces of rope, 2 of which were more than 100 feet long. iv. The total debris removed at Isles of Shoals and disposed in a FFE amounted to 2.01 tons. An additional 2.06 tons were disposed of in a Waste Management bin in 2012 due to difficulty in obtaining a FFE bin. c. Remove derelict fishing gear in the presence of NH Fish and Game Conservation Officer. i. Gear at the Isles of Shoals and during the spring trap cleanups was removed in the presence of a NH Fish and Game officer, Maine Marine Patrol officer, or with their written or verbal permission.

    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.

    .THE MITCHELLS FROM KITTERY A REPRINT FROM DESCENDANTS OF EDWARD SMALL AND ALLIED FAMILIES BY LORA AL TINE WOODBURY UNDERHILL Copyright, 1910, by Ada Small Moore All rights reserved CAMBRIDGE prinatdp tiJrintelJ at ~bt JRinersillt tJrtstS 1911 THE MITCHELLS · FROM KITTERY CHRISTOPHER 1 MITCHELL THE first mention of Christopher 1 ~Iitchell, of Kittery, Maine, appears in a Court Record as early as May 21, 1660.* This record proves that he then was of age; con­ sequently the date of his birth was not later than 1639. The Rev. Mr. Stackpole (who has written the History of Kittery, Maine) and others have tried to prove that Chris­ topher was son to Paul Mitchell, one of John Winter's men, on Richmond's Island. In_ the account of Winter's "Plan­ tatio~" on that island, in 1639, mention is made of "5s pd in to his [Paul Mitchell's] wife;" and in a list for which Paul Mitchell is "Debitor" appears £6 : 6 "for Commodi­ ties in ye house:" £14 : 6 "for wine:" £9: 8: 6 "for so much pd him by Mr Trelawne wth aduenture : " £0 : o : 11 "for sider & oyle;" £0 : 9 : 9 "for aquauite [aqua vitre] at his first Coming ouer." These iten1s indicate that Paul Mitchell had his wife with him, and probably was living in his own house. In a letter from Winter to Trelawny, dated "Richmon Iland, the 29th of July 1641," Winter appears to be troubled greatly by the "mens tymes" that "weare out" on May 10th, and later. Most of the men expected that immediate transportation home "should be ready against their tymes did expire after their 3 yeares servize." The men who promised to remain were "George Bunt, Booteson [Boatswain] & his son, Richard Fild, and Paul Mychell;" and they were "set about the rigging " of the new ship that was soon to be "lancht." t * Early Records of Maine, vol.

  • Maine Coastal Nesting Islands Gulf of Maine
    U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Update Maine Coastal Nesting Islands Maine's coastal islands provide a rich tapestry of habitats harboring a unique Gulf of Maine assemblage of wildlife. Maine islands represent the only breeding sites in the United Coastal Program States for Atlantic puffins and razorbills. With the possible exception of a few islands south of the state, Maine islands provide black guillemots, Leach's storm petrels and common eiders their southernmost breeding territories. Some islands support rare birds such as bald eagles, peregrine falcons and roseate terns. Many islands and their associated mudflats are used for feeding and resting by Atlantic brant and large numbers of migrating waterfowl and shorebirds. Islands also provide important habitat for neotropical migratory birds. Today, as development spreads along the eastern seaboard, islands are becoming more important than ever for supporting bird populations, but islands are also attracting increased attention from potential human users. Disturbances associated with second home developments and subdivisions, timber harvesting, recreational use and aquaculture ventures are increasing, and sometimes threaten critical island habitat. In the early to mid-1990s, federal, state and local conservation partners worked together to update information on nationally significant coastal nesting islands. Gulf of Maine Coastal Program biologists analyzed existing data on nesting seabirds, wading birds and bald eagles for Maine's 3,500 coastal islands and ledges, ultimately identifying 377 nationally significant islands, based on the diversity and/or abundance of nesting birds. About half of the islands are owned by conservation organizations, but the remaining half do not enjoy any form of permanent protection.
