Through science-based action, education and advocacy, we work to protect and preserve the values and benefits of Maine’s lakes, ponds, and watersheds for future generations. We've been doing this since our founding in 1970 as the Congress of Lake Associations.

We are Maine's only statewide membership organization devoted solely to lakes and ponds. With our more-than-100 partner lake associations, we form a nucleus of lake conservation activity that strengthens the capacity of lake ecosystems to resist destabilizing threats. Led by a focused and dedicated team, we have recently:

advocated vigorously—and successfully—on behalf of Maine's lakes at the statehouse;
expanded LakeSmart, our first-in-the-nation lake resilience program; and
reached thousands of students through our innovative experiential Lakes Alive! middle and high school program;
adopted a broader and more inclusive membership model; and
embarked on a fundraising campaign to recruit new members, so that our vital work can continue for the next 50 years and beyond.

We believe in the future of Maine's lakes, and will strive to ensure the protection of our cherished lakes for today and for future generations. If you love your lake, then jump in! and join us or donate.

OUR GOALS

We will increase the number of LakeSmart participants and awards by 10% each year.
Through Lakes Alive! – our exciting floating classroom – we will inspire young and old to protect our lakes.
Through proactive, science-based testimony and collaborative efforts with our partners, we will advocate in Augusta for effective lake protection laws.
As the only statewide membership group devoted solely to lakes, we will increase our capacity to provide state-of-the-art information and services you need to Save Maine’s Lakes.
