Augusta Civic Center, Augusta, Maine

Session D.
Legislative roundtable
Chair: Laura Wilson, University of Maine Cooperative Extension

AM Session

Description: Protecting water resources from threats seems logical and reasonable.  However, finding common ground can be difficult when resource protection and public access and use appear to conflict.  In this session, we will explore current legislation that will set up such a conflict, and review a situation where a compromise between public access and protection has been reached.  The session will take the form of a moderated panel discussion.
