CASCO BAY PLAN
 
 

Internship and Volunteer Opportunities

Each academic year the Casco Bay Estuary Partnership employs a student intern from the University of Southern Maine's Edmund S. Muskie School of Public Service.  Selection is based upon the recommendation of Muskie School faculty. 

In addition to monitoring toxic contaminants in sediments, lobster and mussels and partially supporting the water quality monitoring work of Friends of Casco Bay, the Estuary Partnership has joined with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is a new multi-year National Coastal Assessment monitoring program Coastal 2000.  Maine is part of this nationwide effort to survey the condition of coastal resources by creating an integrated, comprehensive coastal monitoring program that assesses ecological conditions. Internships related to crewing aboard a research vessel during the summer sampling period are offered on an individual basis.  To find out more about this exciting opportunity, contact Beverly Bayley-Smith at the Estuary Partnership.
