Would be good to include public via photos (Perrin) Boston, Portland, St. John, and Boothbay records quite good (Larsen) Patty King did not rank her top 3 - therefore each considered #1 vote | |
| Sea bottom temperature |

I like the use of water temperature as an indicator, although I am concerned about the accessibility of the data. As a result, I only chose sea surface temperature, assuming that it is the most readily measured (possibly by satellite). Does the fisheries group have a way of taking other temperature data to our satisfaction?

The Coastal Development Subcommittee has expressed interest in Climate Change indicators including precipitation - as this will interact with stormwater indicators.
