Bay Management
 

     In March 2004, the Maine Legislature directed the Land and Water Resources Council (LWRC) to undertake a study of how a system of bay management might work in Maine.  The staff of the State Planning Office and DMR were delegated to conduct a two year study, with input from a steering committee, to “explore and document potential new and innovative concepts for the management of Maine’s embayments…”  As part of that work the Legislature required that the LWRC create one or more pilot projects involving “marine resource users and other affected stakeholders…”  This seminar reviewed the legislation passed last year, the public participation plan, and the work to date on the pilot.
