But all too often, word of these projects doesn't reach the public, or even people working in related fields. The Maine Coastal Program Resource Guide is intended to help all of us better understand "who is doing what" in Maine's marine-related organizations. The listings here reflect responses made to questionnaires sent out by our office in early spring of 1988. For most entries, information is provided on the organization's goals, its current marine projects or programs, and its available resources (e.g., publications, audiovisual materials, equipment, or consultants). For organizations that did not respond to the questionnaire, only the name and address are listed. Coastlinks is designed to be "user-friendly." The Table of Contents lists the general subject areas into which the guide has been divided. There are also cross-referenced indices so that you may look up organizations alphabetically or by geographic region. The final index lists organizations that offer educational resources. The Resource Guide contains numerous appendices, including lists of coastal parks, boat ramps, and historical societies, and a brief guide to newspapers and magazines along Maine's coast. At the end of Coastlinks is a sheet that you can fill out to let us know what changes you would like to see in future editions of this guide. There are undoubtedly some organizations that we have neglected to include: we apologize for the oversight but ask that you write us so we will be sure to include these groups in the next edition. Longtime Maine resident and writer E.B. White once wrote "the sea answers all questions." While this may hold true in the long run, we hope that -- in the meantime -- Coastlinks will help with some of your everyday questions about Maine's marine-related organizations. tavid H ly ~e~~Fis Schauffler Maine Coastal Pr am Editor, Coastlinks Aquaria Department of Marine Resources contact: Jean Chenoweth Public Aquarium phone: 207/633-5572 McKown Point W.

Unlike all other federal environmental legislation, the Act provides for a partnership among federal, state, and local government in cooperatively managing the nation's coastal resources. Congress also took an unprecedented step by writing into law a provision that requires all federal activities in the coastal area to be consistent with the approved state program: no longer could the federal government perform or support activities that violated state laws. If a state has a federally approved program, the federal government cannot dredge, construct breakwaters, or federal housing, or conduct other activities that violate state laws. In 1978, Maine implemented its coastal management program relying on 11 existing environmental and land use statutes ( that pertain to air and water pollution, siting of large projects, construction in wetlands and along beaches, shoreland zoning, solid waste sites, and marine resources). The Maine Coastal Program (MCP) works in two distinct areas -- regulation, and planning and policy development. Regulation At the state level, three state agencies implement the Maine Coastal Program through regulations: the Department of Marine Resources oversees fisheries management; the Department of Conservation (DOC), through the Land Use Regulation Commission, regulates land use activities in the state's unorganized territories; and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) oversees various laws ranging from local shoreland zoning to oil and hazardous waste control. At the local level, 144 coastal towns are responsible for reviewing all subdivisions and activities within 250 feet of fresh or saltwater. The state laws that constitute the Maine Coastal Program were at the forefront of environmental protection when they were enacted in the 1970s. In the last 15 years, though, development pressures along the coast have increased significantly and the need for more comprehensive environmental and and use management legislation has become evident. The Program supports better licensing and enforcement of environmental laws, and informs Maine citizens so they can better comply with state and local statutes. The MCP continues to work with the Legislature, state agencies, municipalities, and others to strengthen implementation of these laws. In 1986, the Coastal Program developed a legislative initiative to improve state and local decisions affecting coastal resources. The initiative, which was supported by Legislators, the public, and local governments, was enacted into law and now provides a framework for coastal decision-making. Planning and Policy Development The MCP supports local and state agencies working on coastal issues and has funded more than 500 local planning projects along Maine's coast. At the local level, for example, the MCP has helped towns prepare comprehensive plans, regional shoreline- access studies, and groundwater-use strategies. At the state level, the MCP has funded coastal wildlife studies, helped licensing and permitting of state laws, and analyzed Maine's fish-pier needs. The Program has also sought to develop public policies on how coastal resources are used -- for example, where new cargo ports should be located, how Maine aquaculture should be developed, and how state and local decisions affecting the coast should be made.
