[News and discussion forum for watershed managers in Maine]

Please join us for one of two free Zoom events focused on long-term
planning conservation tools and strategies that support natural solutions
for resilient habitat. These virtual Casco Bay Coastal Academy (CBCA)
workshops are brought to you by Casco Bay Estuary Partnership, Maine Sea
Grant, and R1CC. CBCA aims to build the knowledge base of municipal board
members and staff about critical coastal issues and provide skills training
to support their project planning and implementation. The workshops are

community leaders, and organizations providing services to municipalities.
