Sears Island: Options for the Future
Sears Island OPTIONS FOR THE FUTURE Sears Island OPTIONS FOR THE FUTURE An Economically Productive & Ecologically Sustainable Vision Acknowledgments Sears Island: Options for the Future has been supported by the following col- laborating groups: Coastal Mountains Land Trust, Friends of Midcoast Maine, Friends of Sears Island, Maine Chapter of the Sierra Club, Maine SeaGrant, Islesboro Islands Trust, the Penobscot Bay Alliance and Protect Sears Island. Many private citizens from the Penobscot Bay region partici- pated in numerous planning and visioning sessions. The first section of this report was prepared by Terrence J. DeWan of Terrence J. DeWan & Associates (TJD&A), a landscape architecture and planning firm in Yarmouth, Maine. The maps of the three options for Sears Island and many of the photographs were provided by TJD&A. The economic analysis section was written by Charles Lawton of Plan- ning Decisions, Inc., a multipurpose planning company in South Portland, Maine. This economic analysis was peer-reviewed by Professor David Vail, Bowdoin economics department, and Catherine J. Reilly, State Economist, Maine State Planning Office. Other photographs of Sears Island used throughout the report were taken by Kevin Shields of Rockport, Maine. The layout was created by Headwaters Writing & Design in Camden; Camden Printing printed the publication on recycled, totally chlorine-free paper. We also thank the thousands of Maine people who have expressed their hopes and concerns for Sears Island during the past forty years, and who became engaged in charting its future. The discussions and debates that ensued over the period have shaped a future for this island that is both economic and ecologic.

Maine ASCE's 2008 Report Card
waste drinking water aviation levees por ts transportation REPORT CARD FOR bbridges MAINE’S waterways INFRASTRUCTURE roads 2016 hazardous waste d a m s rail waste water ppar k s schools energy infrastructurereportcard.org /maine November 28, 2016 Executive Summary Civil engineering is a broad field dealing with the planning, design, construction, maintenance and management of infrastructure networks and the resulting safety of the public. Civil engineering includes power plants, electrical distribution, bridges, roads, railways, airports, structures, retaining walls, foundations, water supply & distribution, irrigation, sewer, flood control, waste management, transportation and the protection of the natural environment. The maintenance and improvement of Maine's infrastructure is vital to our economy, health, safety, security, and the environment. Decisions about infrastructure the public uses, which we all pay for through user fees and taxes, as well as private investments, need to be made based on long-term comprehensive planning, with sustainable and reliable funding sources. As with the national Report Cards produced by ASCE, the purpose of this state Report Card is to raise public awareness of the importance of modern and well-maintained infrastructure. Our infrastructure cannot be taken for granted and requires on-going maintenance and continuous planning. We believe discussion of the issues detailed in this Report Card will lead to a greater understanding of the current and future needs of our state, prompting decision makers in our communities, the state legislature, and our congressional delegation to formulate policies and provide the necessary funding to address our infrastructure needs. The 2016 Report Card on Maine’s Infrastructure gave the state an overall grade of C-.

The State of State Parks the State of State Parks in Maine
The State of State Parks The State of State Parks in Maine By Li Yu Chan, Gordon Padelford and Theo Papademetriou Executive Summary The State of State Parks in Maine is the first chapter in The State of Maine’s Environment 2010, a report produced by the Environmental Policy Group in the Environmental Studies Program at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. This is the sixth State of Maine’s Environment report published since 2004. This year marks the 75th anniversary of Maine’s state park system. Maine’s 49 state parks are primarily managed for the enjoyment of their annual 2 million visitors. State parks have grown to conserve over 400,000 acres of wildlife habitats, scenic places and historical sites. Eighty percent of Maine residents have a state park within 15 miles from their homes. State parks in Maine conserve a representative range of habitats found in Maine, but they conserve relatively less compared to other types of conservation lands. Maine state parks cover the most total acreage, but the least percentage of state land area when compared to the other New England states. Maine state parks are underfunded especially in capital repairs with more than $30 million needed. Three potential areas to improve the state park system are related to visitation, conservation, and capital repairs. We recommend that the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands conduct a statewide survey to determine what people want to see in their park system, create a habitat passport program and make maps available online and as hardcopies to increase awareness of state parks, increase funding for capital repairs, and continue to partner with Maine businesses to expand the First Time Camper program.
