INTRODUCTION Maine has had an approved coastal management program since 1978. Through a partnership with federal, state and regional agencies, local governments and others, the Maine Coastal Program works to balance the conservation and development of Maine’s coastal resources. While the core of Maine’s Coastal Program is the effective administration of environmental laws along the coast, the Program has conducted a wide range of projects over the last thirty two years. Some of these projects include modeling the effects of sea level rise, helping municipalities to plan for growth and climate change, planning for ocean energy development and addressing user conflicts in Maine’s coastal waters, using geographic information systems (GIS) to identify valuable habitats and track coastal hazards, planning for public access and the preservation of working waterfront, and continuing to encourage volunteer stewardship. By engaging in these projects, the Maine Coastal Program has remained active in a wide variety of coastal issues. Section 309 of the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) offers states the opportunity to enhance their current coastal management programs by developing improvements to core law authorities, creating new programs, and designing new funding sources. This enhancement program requires states to periodically conduct a needs assessment of nine coastal policy areas that are considered priorities at the national level. This Plan includes Maine’s 2010 assessment of these issues. State priorities have been developed and the strategies outlined in this document will guide our program enhancement efforts over the next five years, from 2011-2015. The Maine Coastal Program posted a draft version of this Assessment and Strategy on our website for a 30 day period in October and November and provided a notice of its availability to a lengthy list of program partners, collaborators and others. The comments received were extremely helpful to staff and were used in making changes to certain sections of this document. The comments are included in their entirety in Appendix B of this document, along with Maine Coastal Program staff responses (Appendix C). The final version of this document will be posted on our website following NOAA approval. The content that follows the introductory material is divided into nine sections corresponding to the nine priority enhancement areas: Public Access, Coastal Hazards, Ocean Resources, Wetlands, Cumulative and Secondary Impacts, Marine Debris, Special Area Management Planning, Energy and Government Facilities Siting, and Aquaculture. An assessment of the status of the issue in Maine is included for each issue area. A subsequent chapter contains draft strategies for potential funding by NOAA. At present, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Section 309 funds available to the Maine Coastal Program to pursue the program enhancement strategies detailed in this document amount to roughly $400,000 per year. Thus there are many more strategies related to these topics (and others) that the Maine Coastal Program will undertake with other sources of funding. This document represents a menu of high priority strategies that are eligible for Section 309 funds and will be undertaken by the Maine Coastal Program (with partnering organizations). Projects will be chosen from this menu annually as part of federal grant applications. We pledge to fully draw upon all state and federal resources available to us to complete these projects, and to explore additional funding sources through grants, and other arrangements. 1 – Introduction Prioritization of Issues Current Priority for Priority in Previous Issue Section 309 funds1 (2010) Assessment (2006) Public Access Medium High Coastal Hazards High High Ocean Resources High High Cumulative and Secondary Impacts Medium High Special Area Management Planning High High Wetlands Medium Medium Aquaculture Medium Medium Energy and Government Facility Siting High Medium Marine Debris Low Low Justification for Priorities Priorities have been assigned to coastal management issues by considering: 1) the results of assessments developed for each coastal issue area; 2) the track record of addressing the topic in previous enhancement efforts, and 3) opportunities for development of new or enhanced management approaches considered to be eligible for CZMA Section 309 funding. High Priority Issues for CZMA Section 309 Enhancement Funds Coastal hazards: Coastal hazards and hazard avoidance continue to be a high management priority in Maine. New information including potential scenarios for sea level rise and bluff stability has been generated over the past five years in addition to a draft climate change adaptation strategy for the state. Additional regulatory reforms are planned, information needs are great and MCP’s role in implementation of an adaptation plan in the coastal zone is significant. Ocean Resources: The continued decline in Maine’s fisheries, the effects of increased coastal development and other human impacts on marine ecosystems, an increase in user conflicts, and the great need to obtain and use environmental data to improve management continue to make Ocean Resources a high priority area for the Maine Coastal Program. 1 As referenced above, CZMA Section 309 funding is available only for strategy development and limited implementation of new programs and authorities that result in “program changes” as defined in 15 CFR 923.123. Priority ratings for 309 eligible projects as listed above should not be interpreted as priority ratings for the entirety of the Maine Coastal Program and the issue areas are addressed through funding sources other than CZMA Section 309. 2 – Introduction Energy and Government Facilities Siting: Planning for development of renewable energy in the Maine’s coastal zone and

I am deeply grateful to all of the committed, cre- ative, and spirited employees (both on and off-island), board members, interns, community members, visitors and volun- teers who make the Hurricane Island Center for Science and Leadership possible. I am especially grateful to Cait Cleaver for her oversight and support throughout this process. Sam Hallowell, Pheobe Jekielek, Jenn Page, Oakley Jackson, Josie Gates, Micah Conkling, Alice Anderson, and Chloe Tremper were all incredibly gracious and helpful in integrating me into the every- day functions of the island and taking the time to lend me their own knowledge, experiences, and the occasional boat ride. I could not have asked for a better support team on the Vermont side, including my advisor, Dr. Jeff Hughes, and commit- tee members Dr. David Barrington and Dr. Josef Gorres. Their thoughtful comments, questions, and insistence on quality made this project a piece of work I am proud of. Their sincere interest in my professional and academic development is a gift whose value is beyond measure. 1 Executive Summary In the summer of 2015, I conducted an ecological assessment of Hurricane Island, a 125-acre island in the West Penobscot Bay of Maine.

  • An Ethnography of Climate Change in Maine
    Farms, Fish & Forests: An Ethnography of Climate Change in Maine Kathryn Ann Olson A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the department of Sociology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Boston College Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences Graduate School February 2021 © Copyright 2020 Kathryn Ann Olson Farms, Fish & Forests: An Ethnography of Climate Change in Maine Kathryn Ann Olson Advisor: Juliet B. Schor, Ph.D. Social science scholarship on climate change increasingly situates global climate change in the everyday experiences, practices, and knowledges of individuals and communities in local landscapes. Although climate change is a global phenomenon, it is experienced, negotiated, and adapted to at the local scale. In this dissertation, I situate and emplace global climate change in the everyday experiences and practices of people with land- and sea-based livelihoods in Maine. Maine is, in many ways, at the forefront of the climate crisis, and farmers, fishers and foresters—with their ongoing, intimate knowledge of and relations with particular places—are experiencing climate change and making meaning of its impacts. The aim of the dissertation, broadly conceived, is to particularize climate change and locate it in the embodied relations of people and places in Maine. I draw from several bodies of scholarship to locate the study of livelihoods and global climate change in Maine. First, I utilize the work of James O’Connor, Raymond Williams, and contemporary livelihoods scholars to position analysis of climate change impacts within broader historic relations of land and labor. Second, hybrid materialist perspectives, as well as relational perspectives on place, help to understand global climate change as a constellation of interrelated, but distinctly localized manifestations of a translocal process.
