New Map Highlights Seabird Nesting Islands on Maine Coast

Friends of Maine Seabird Islands has published, in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a large, full-color map of the seabird nesting islands off the coast of Maine.

This decorative and highly detailed map, 15" by 40", shows both surface and undersea topography. It also shows main roads, county boundaries and towns.

The proceeds from the sale of these maps, which cost $25 flat and $100 for a mounted copy, go to the Friends of Maine Seabird Islands, a nonprofit organization that brings together groups and individuals who are committed to preserving and protecting these islands and the bird species which are dependent upon them.

The maps can be purchased directly from the Friends of Maine Seabird Islands, Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Please send a check to P.O. Box 232, 16 Rockport Park Center Drive, Rockport, ME 04856. The public is welcome to visit the refuge offices - it's best to call ahead at 236-3383.
