The Gulf of Maine Coastal Program works with a variety of partners to share information, knowledge, and capabilities for habitat conservation at the landscape scale to support healthy populations of fish and wildlife. Together, we protect and restore habitats that sustain diverse and abundant populations of fish, wildlife, and plants throughout the Gulf of Maine watershed. With the threat of climate change, successful landscape level habitat conservation will provide opportunities for fish and wildlife to adapt. This holistic approach ensures that individual projects produce meaningful and sustainable results for fish and wildlife and makes the best use of limited resources.

We work closely with other federal and state agencies, non-government conservation groups, willing landowners and other local partners to identify and assess, protect and restore:

seabird, wading bird and eagle nesting islands,
coastal wetlands and upland buffer, with
an emphasis on high value waterbird habitat,
estuaries, rivers and riparian corridors that support
all of Maines native diadromous (searun) fish,
rivers and riparian corridors that support Atlantic salmon
in federally listed rivers and the Penobscot River,
lands and waters that support other coastal federally
endangered and threatened species, such as: shortnose
sturgeon, bald eagle, roseate tern and piping plover,
large blocks of contiguous and intact habitat, and
lands that support the purposes of
Maine's coastal national wildlife refuges.

Using a voluntary, collaborative approach, and by working with others who have similar goals, we seek opportunities to protect and restore high value habitat. We are committed to working in respectful partnerships, with flexibility, creativity, and a "we-can-do-it-together" outlook.
