Land Conservation:
According to the NOAA, Maine lost approximately 20% of its estimated original wetlands base by the mid-1980s. The Clean Water Act and Natural Resources Protection Act have resulted in a decrease of the state's wetland loss rate, but wetlands in Maine are still being lost to development. Strong wetland protection is needed to protect Maine's fisheries, an industry that contributes substantially to the state's economy.
