CASCO BAY PLAN

A cooperative effort to protect the health and integrity of Casco Bay

In 1990, Casco Bay was designated an "estuary of national significance" Estuary

and included in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Estuary Program, established in 1987 to protect nationally significant estuaries threatened by pollution, development or overuse. As a result of this designation, the Casco Bay Estuary Partnership (then Casco Bay Estuary Project) (CBEP) was formed with the mission of preserving the ecological integrity of Casco Bay and ensuring compatible human uses of the Bay's resources through public stewardship and effective management.
