Accessing the Coast of Maine: a new web resource
Throughout the Maine coast, conflicts over access to and from the water are becoming more common. Now, people on the coast have a new resource to help them understand the legal issues and tools available to address access issues. Maine Sea Grant, in partnership with University of Maine Cooperative Extension, Maine Coastal Program, the Island Institute, Center for Law and Innovation at the University of Maine Law School and funded by the National Sea Grant Law Center have launched Accessing the Maine Coast.
Accessing the Maine Coast is not a listing of public access points in Maine. Rather, it is an information resource for coastal property owners, beach and waterfront users, public and environmental interest groups, and municipal, state, and federal governments. The site offers legal tools to address the specific coastal access questions and needs of these stakeholder groups.
