Success Story -
Partnering to Protect the Maine Coast
More than 20 individuals and dozens of organizations partnered with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service’s Gulf of Maine Coastal Program during fiscal year 2003 to permanently protect 4,232.4 acres and 17.1 river miles of high value fish and wildlife habitat. Protected lands include three seabird nesting islands, five parcels of important habitat in the increasingly urbanized Casco Bay watershed in the Greater Portland area, four coastal wetlands that benefit migratory birds, eight riparian buffers serve diadromous fish, and a large parcel of forestlands.

Welcome
to the Partnerships Portal of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
a Federal bureau located within the Department of the Interior. The mission
of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve,
protect and enhance fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats for
the continuing benefit of the American people. Our ability to achieve
our mission depends on active cooperation with others. Fish and Wildlife
Service is committed to a collaborative approach to conservation. Our
strategy is to empower Americans to become citizen conservationists. The
more the Service can empower people as stewards of the land, the more
effective we can be in our conservation mission.
The Service works with other Department of Interior bureaus and government agencies in building a partnership-based approach to stewardship through a process Secretary Norton calls the 4C's - conservation through cooperation, communication, and consultation.
