Casco Bay lies at the heart of Maine's most populated area. The health of its waters, wetlands, and wildlife depends on the activities of nearly a quarter million residents who live in its watershed. The arrival of European settlers in the 18th century brought unprecedented changes. Lands were cleared, towns and cities built, and dams constructed for power. All changed the landscape and impacted water quality.
