Coastal Choices: Conserving the Places We Value

You can download these five inspiring conservation success stories and listen to them as five separate six to eight minute-long videos. All five videos are supplemented with two-page companion pieces that direct you to additional web resources. This project, intended to encourage people to work together to protect our coastal heritage, was made possible largely with a funds provided by the Maine Coast Protection Initiative, supplemented with additional dollars contributed by our Gulf of Maine Coastal Program and other partners. Coastal Choices was prepared by Maine Coast Heritage Trust and Cross Current Productions, with assistance from eight partnering organizations, including U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Gulf of Maine Coastal Program. The five stories are:

  1. Wild Island: Sustaining a legacy of conservation on Monhegan
  2. Unchartered Waters: Saving a working waterfront in York
  3. Learning Ground: Linking school and community in Lubec
  4. Spawning Hope: Collaborating to conserve mid-coast river
  5. Healthy Trails: Connecting people and parks in Portland
