Gulf of Maine Coastal Program
-
The Gulf of Maine Coastal Program (GOMCP) works with a variety of partners to share information, knowledge, and capabilities for habitat conservation at the landscape scale to support healthy populations of fish and wildlife. Together, we protect and restore habitats that sustain diverse and abundant populations of fish, wildlife, and plants throughout the Gulf of Maine watershed. With the threat of climate change, successful landscape level habitat conservation will provide opportunities for fish and wildlife to adapt. This holistic approach ensures that individual projects produce meaningful and sustainable results for fish and wildlife and makes the best use of limited resources.

USFWS Maine Field Office
-
The Ecological Services program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for the conservation and restoration of fish and wildlife and their habitats. Maine Field Office biologists investigate the effects of contaminants and recover damages for injuries to Department of the Interior trust resources caused by oil or chemical releases. We also help recover threatened and endangered species and review proposals for wetland and stream alterations from many types of development. We recommend measures to enhance fish and wildlife resources in conjunction with the licensing of energy generation facilities and other Federal projects such as shoreline protection, navigation and flood control, etc. Our work with private individuals, organizations, and other State and Federal agencies protects, restores and enhances fish and wildlife habitat on private, State, and Federal lands. Our office also provides the public with information about the value and benefits derived from the conservation and restoration of fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats.

Maine Fisheries Program Complex
-
The Maine Fisheries Program Complex (consisting of Craig Brook and Green Lake National Fish Hatcheries, and the Maine Fishery Resources Office) provides administrative oversight and technical support for a multi-faceted restoration and recovery program for Atlantic salmon and other anadromous fish and their habitats in Maine. The Complex administers strong science and adaptive management approaches for restoration and recovery, and initiates partnerships with other federal, state, tribal and private sector entities to leverage resource acccomplishments. The hatcheries within the Complex are its conservation tools for river-specific broodstock and outplanting programs, and its Fishery Resources Office provides technical expertise for on-the-ground habitat and fish passage projects that are closely coordinated with an array of watershed partners. The Complex also oversees a popular educational outreach program that provides hands-on interpretive demonstrations, tours, and a highly successful "Salmon in Schools Program" for the people of Maine, with a host of supporting partners. About 40,000 people visit the Complex and its satellite facilities every year.

Northeast Fisheries Science Center

In 2000 NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service established the Maine Field Station in Orono, ME to have more direct involvement in the conservation of the living marine resources in Maine, particularly Atlantic salmon. NOAA Fisheries Service shares jurisdiction of Atlantic salmon with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) at the federal level. Within Maine, NOAA Fisheries Service primarily focuses on fish in the estuarine and marine environment, while the Maine Atlantic Salmon Commission and USFWS focuses on the freshwater life stages. NOAA Fisheries Service also works closely with other federal agencies (particularly the U.S. Geological Survey), the University of Maine System and a wide range of state, academic, public and private partners.
