What you can do to be Shore Smart
Coastal Rivers Denny Conservation and Education Center 3 Round Top Ln, Damariscotta, ME, United States +1 moreDo you live on or near the water – whether the ocean, a lake or pond, a river or stream? Our waterways are beautiful and offer many opportunities for recreation, but they are also vulnerable. Threats to our local lakes, ponds, and rivers include toxic cyanobacteria or algae blooms, erosion and sediment, and bacterial contamination.
The good news is, there are many low or no-cost projects that can make a significant difference to long-term water quality. Join us on December 12, either in person or online, to learn the big and small things you can do on your own property to protect water quality.
