Watershed Kiosks

In 2006, staff at the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service Maine Field Office initiated a partnership with Maine Sea Grant to produce content for two informational kiosks planned for the lower Penobscot River region. The Penobscot River watershed is currently the subject of an unprecedented restoration plan that will restore access to over 1,000 miles of rearing and spawning habitat for Atlantic salmon, alewives, sturgeon, and other species of sea-run fish.

PRESS RELEASE | 11 August 2009 Building a Resilient Coast: Maine Confronts Climate Change

Survey results, documentary video highlight coastal community views on coastal changes

Property owners along Maine's sandy beaches are noticing higher water levels during storms and increased erosion. A recent landslide in Stockton Springs was a reminder for residents along other parts of the Maine coast that they also are vulnerable to extreme weather patterns like this summer's record rainfall. These effects are expected to intensify with predictions of altered precipitation patterns and a rise in sea level of two feet or more in coming decades.
