What Distinguishes Friends of Casco Bay's Work

Locally-focused: We are the only organization whose sole focus is protecting Casco Bay.

Science-based: The positions we take are backed up by data collected by our highly trained staff and EPA-certified volunteers.

Pragmatic: We are results-oriented, striving for measurable outcomes that protect the environment.

Collaborative: We know that protecting the Bay is a group effort, so we work closely with scientists, government officials, businesses, residents, and other partners.
