All Day - Downeast Forum on Coastal Access - (Snow Date Friday January 20th 2006) - Carter Conference Center of the Machias Motor Inn, Route 1.
Recent, widespread shifts in coastal land ownership and uses are bringing about changes in the traditional patterns of coastal access in Maine. These changes have important impacts on water-dependant industries as well as recreational and private property users.
The goal of this Forum is to bring together people with diverse coastal access interests to encourage: sharing of perceived problems; finding common ground; sharing resources and tools; developing cooperative, collaborative, and mutually-beneficial solutions in Downeast Maine.
This forum is organized by a planning committee representing several organizations including: University of Maine Sea Grant/Cooperative Extension, University of Maine at Machias, Island Institute, Sunrise County Economic Council, Maine Coastal Program, Maine Sea Coast Mission, Washington County Council of Governments, and Coastal Enterprises Inc.
For more information, please contact Natalie Springuel, Maine Sea Grant: 288-2944 x298, nspringuel@coa.edu; and Chris Bartlett, Maine Sea Grant/ University of Maine Cooperative Extension, 853-2518 x 4212, cbartlett@maine.edu.
