Casco Bay Plan, Draft, Fall 1995. Casco Bay Estuary Project. 1995. 227 pp.

This document represents an outstanding collaborative effort among hundreds of citizens, local, state and federal government representatives, business leaders, scientists and non-profit organization participants to develop a plan which reflects strong interest in protecting the environmental health of Casco Bay balanced with the needs of the citizens who use it. It was prepared to generate actions and strategies to protect the health of Casco Bay, which is an important economic and environmental resource. This document was published under the efforts of the Casco Bay Estuary Project, and is a product of numerous discussions, workshops, seminars, and meetings. This resource introduces issues such as stormwater, clam flats and swimming areas, habitat protection, and toxic pollution in Casco Bay and then hopes to encourage on-going analysis of these areas by talking about developing new solutions, measuring progress, implementing and financing these plans, and also coordinating with federal programs. These plans are all aimed at bettering the health of Casco Bay and its watershed.
