Providing public access to these bodies of water is extremely impor- tant to us because we want both residents and visitors alike to enjoy them to the fullest. The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife works diligently to provide access to Maine’s waters, whether it’s a remote mountain pond, or Maine’s Casco Bay. How you conduct yourself on Maine’s waters will go a long way in de- termining whether new access points can be obtained since only a fraction of our waters have dedicated public access.

Page 10 Summer 2014 Free LEA Lake News The Maine Lake Science Center – Now a Reality by Peter Lowell LEA Board Votes to Buy the Science Center Property As kids growing up on Highland Lake, we never saw algae clouds that look like green cotton candy. The sand and gravel of the lake bottom was always clean and the rocks were clear of sediment. Unfortunately, these simple indicators of water quality decline are now widespread. Our work over 43 years has led us to conclude that Maine lakes are degrading because of continued watershed development and decline is being accelerated by climate change. All of our lakes have changed over the past few decades, and their future is certainly in doubt. For six years, LEA has studied the status of lake science and visiting lake centers around the country to learn their methods and establish relationships. LEA conducts more lake testing than anyone in Maine, and we feel that no one adequately understands the “tipping points” that lead to a decline in water quality.

All inland waters of the state are closed to ice fishing except those which have been opened to fishing through the ice by rule and regulation of the commissioner. A person legally licensed may fish through the ice in the daytime with not more than 5 lines, set or otherwise, which shall be under the immediate supervision of such person, in any waters which have been opened to ice fishing by the commissioner. It shall be lawful to fish in the nighttime by using not more than 5 lines set or otherwise for cusk in the waters which have been opened to ice fishing by the commissioner for salmon, trout and togue. The commissioner may open other waters for fishing for cusk in the night­ time. FISHING LICENSES No resident of the State over 18 years of age and no non-resident over the age of 10 years can lawfully fish through the ice in any inland waters of the State, or transport any fish taken therefrom without a fishing license.

Page 10 Winter 2016 Free LEA Lake News Success on the Songo River and Brandy Pond! By Christian Oren After eleven summers of hard work, LEA is declaring victory in the battle against milfoil in the Songo River and Brandy Pond. When the project was first begun, huge patches of milfoil as big as football fields choked the entire length of the Songo. Now, boaters can pass through the river without ever seeing a single stalck of the plant. Never before has such a large and extensive invasive aquatic plant infestation been brought under control in the history of the State of Maine. The dozen or so infestations in Brandy Pond were also persistent, but seem to have been quelled by years of repeated harvesting. We declared victory on the Songo for two main reasons. First, the density of milfoil on the entire length of the river was much lower than we had seen in previous years. Even at the height of the growing season, there was only one plant for every 100 feet of shoreline, or less.

  • Gloeotrichia Echinulata Monitoring Report
    2014 Gloeotrichia echinulata Monitoring Report January 13, 2015 Lakes Environmental Association 230 Main Street Bridgton, ME 04009 207-647-8580 [email protected] Project Summary A total of 24 lakes and ponds were monitored in the summer of 2014 for the blue-green algae known as Gloeotrichia echinulata, or “Gloeo”. Eighteen were sampled once during peak growing season in late July or early August. The remaining six lakes were those with the high- est 2013 levels of the algae and were sampled every 2 weeks throughout the summer. These lakes were Long Lake, Keoka Lake, McWain Pond, Moose Pond, Peabody Pond, and Crystal Lake. The first three of these lakes had Gloeo levels increase by 3 – 12 times between 2013 and 2014. The highest level was 72.4 colonies per liter in Keoka Lake, contrasting with a high of 16.6 colonies per liter in Moose Pond in 2013. The other three lakes had similar Gloeo lev- els in 2013 and 2014. The peak in Gloeo population in most lakes came in early August, just after water temperatures had peaked for the season. Factors that Affect Gloeo Abundance Light Like many other species, Gloeo probably take biological cues from the intensity and duration of sunlight. Gloeo can only grow on sediments that are exposed to light. Lake bathymetry (bottom topography) will control the area of the lake that is shallow enough for light to reach (known as the “littoral zone”). Lake clarity and color also impact how deep light can penetrate. Low clarity and/or high color mean that less of the lake bottom is exposed to light.

  • Gloeotrichia Echinulata Monitoring Report
    2015 Gloeotrichia echinulata Monitoring Report February 1, 2016 Lakes Environmental Association 230 Main Street Bridgton, ME 04009 207-647-8580 [email protected] Project Summary A total of 30 sites on 24 lakes and ponds were monitored in the summer of 2015 for the blue-green algae known as Gloeotrichia echinulata, or “Gloeo”. Twenty sites were sampled once in late July or early August. The remaining ten sites were sampled 4 times, or roughly once per week, between July 15th and August 19th, with the exception of Moose Pond (main basin), which was sampled 5 times. The sites sam- pled more than once were on Long Lake (4 sites), Keoka Lake, McWain Pond, Moose Pond, Peabody Pond, Crystal Lake, and Middle Pond. The highest level of Gloeo recorded in 2015 was 192.4 colonies per liter in Moose Pond. The highest level in 2014 was 72.4 colonies per liter in Keoka Lake, and in 2013 it was 16.6 colonies per liter in Moose Pond. Moose Pond and the Harrison sample site on Long Lake’s north shore both saw large increases in Gloeo abundance in 2015 over previous years. However, the con- centrations at other sampling sites were similar or even less than in previous years. A late spring and slow warm-up in water temperatures may have affected Gloeo growth in 2015. Factors that Affect Gloeo Abundance Light Like many other species, Gloeo take biological cues from the intensity and duration of sun- light. Gloeo can only grow on sediments that are exposed to light. Lake bathymetry (the shape and contours of the lake bed) will control the area of the lake that is shallow enough for light to reach (known as the “littoral zone”).
