Recreational Island Monitoring
As interest in recreational opportunities on Maine's public and private islands continues to grow, recreation management will increasingly depend on science-based information about the relationship between island use and island conditions. Natalie coordinates the new multi-organization island monitoring task force, whose goal is to develop science-based island monitoring methods that will help managers and island owners achieve their island management objectives.

Coastal Tourism Planning
In the last several years, Maine Sea Grant has recognized tourism as an important aspect of the coastal economy. Throughout the Gulf of Maine region, tourism offers communities both economic promise and environmental concern. In Maine, the tourism industry and its affiliated support services employ more than fishing, farming, forestry, and aquaculture combined.
Coastal Access
Multiple uses of Maine's coast place competing demands on an increasingly limited resource. Water-dependent industries, ranging from traditional fisheries to recreational businesses, as well as the public at large, face limited access to the ocean. This signals an important change in our coastal heritage over the last 50 years. Municipal officials, water-dependent industries, and residents have all identified the need for outreach and assistance to help maintain the character of, and access to, Maine's waterfront areas for diverse users while creating a climate that is growth-friendly.
