Acadia Learning: Participatory Watershed Research

Landscape-scale environmental research questions require data from vast geographic areas over many years, and carry a price tag that is often beyond the scope of available funding for scientific research. Meanwhile, K-12 classrooms and community volunteer groups want educational opportunities that also contribute to authentic research.

PRESS RELEASE | 22 March 2011 Volunteers in new program to monitor signs of the seasons

This release originated from the University of Maine.

ORONO — Spring is the season of firsts: first robin on the lawn, first blush of maples flowering in the swamps, first fragrant lilac bloom. Across Maine, many people enjoy watching the seasons as they unfold. Now, those observations can contribute to scientific studies through a new program from University of Maine Cooperative Extension and Maine Sea Grant.

ANNOUNCEMENT | Summer 2011 Graduate Student Internships

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.
