Email this Video to a FriendThere’s nothing more compelling than a clutch of wild islands calling from across the water. Thanks to good people like these, the wild island experience will be calling for generations to come.
As we all know, the Coast of Maine is vulnerable to rampant development from any number of directions. We are fortunate that the Maine Coast Heritage Trust’s program of easements helps keep the islands the way they always were.

Sea bottom conservation and protection is important also. There are assorted efforts to gather ‘ghost traps’ along the nation’s seaboards that are getting private, local, state and Federal funding. Here locally, student divers will be seeking out lost traps this fall as they’ve done in the past. It’s good work: https://www.mainepublic.org/environment-and-outdoors/2023-09-13/new-regional-coalition-teaming-up-to-remove-ghost-traps-from-gulf-of-maine

We stayed in Bar Harbor years ago, first never knowing how many beautiful islands were surrounding us or being islands that are protected today. Thanks for such a wonderful presentation!

The achievements that result from the work and attention brought to bear when developing these resources are some of our state treasures. Community involvement in one of its best forms. We are so very thankful for it all.
