This Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) for the Maine Coastal Islands National
Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) is the culmination of an intensive planning process involving
State and local partners, Refuge neighbors, private landowners, and the local commu-nity.
The direction in this CCP includes an expansion of the Petit Manan Refuge unit by
2,459 acres beyond its current approved boundary. The expansion includes 87 nationally
significant seabird, wading bird, and bald eagle coastal nesting islands and 153 acres of
wetlands on the mainland. This CCP also adds six new seabird restoration projects to
our present six, and intensifies the focus of our biological programs on birds of high
conservation priority in the Gulf of Maine. It increases opportunities for wildlife-dependent
recreation, especially in our environmental education and interpretive
programs, builds new trails on the Gouldsboro Bay, Sawyers Marsh, and Corea Heath
divisions, and opens the Petit Manan Point Division to deer hunting. It also recom-mends
that 13 Refuge islands in 8 wilderness study areas be included in the National
Wilderness Preservation System.

1-2 Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge
Introduction The Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) is comprised of
five individual refuge units which span the coast of Maine and support an
incredible diversity of habitats including, coastal islands, forested headlands,
estuaries and freshwater wetlands. The Comprehensive Conservation Plan
(CCP) for this refuge was prepared pursuant to the National Wildlife Refuge
System Administration Act of 1966, as amended by the National Wildlife
Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C. 6688dd et seq.). It is the
culmination of a planning process that began in 1993. Meetings with the public,
State agencies, commercial industry representatives, landowners, and conserva-tion
partners were held to identify and evaluate management alternatives. A draft
and final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) were previously distributed for
public review and comment. These documents describe other management
alternatives we considered for implementation.
This final CCP presents the combination of management goals, objectives, and
strategies that we believe will best achieve our vision for the Refuge, contribute
to the National Wildlife Refuge System (Refuge System) mission, achieve refuge
purposes, fulfill legal mandates, and serve the American public. The CCP will
guide management decisions and actions on the refuge over the next 15 years. It
will also be used as a tool to help the State of Maine natural resource agencies,
our conservation partners, Tribal governments, local communities, and the
public understand our priorities.
This document has five chapters and six appendices. Chapter 1 is the “Purpose
of and Need for Plan” and it sets the stage for Chapters 2 through 5. It...
■ describes the purpose and need for a CCP for the refuge;
■ identifies national and regional mandates and plans that influenced this

The Purpose and Need for Action
Final CCP - April 2005 1-3
A CCP’s purpose is to provide strategic management direction on a refuge for
the next 15 years by:
■ providing a clear statement of desired future conditions for habitat, wildlife,
visitor services, staffing, and facilities;
■ providing State agencies, Refuge neighbors, visitors, and partners with a clear
explanation of the reasons for management actions;
■ ensuring refuge management reflects the policies and goals of the Refuge
System and legal mandates;
■ ensuring the “compatibility” of current and future public use;
■ providing long-term continuity and direction for refuge management; and,
■ providing direction for staffing, operations, maintenance, and annual budget
requests.
The present need to develop this CCP is many-fold. First, the 1997 National
Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act (Refuge Improvement Act) requires
that all national wildlife refuges have CCPs in place by 2012 to help fulfill the
mission of the Refuge System.
Second, this refuge lacks a master plan to accomplish the actions noted above
in an environment that has changed dramatically since the refuge units were first
established. For example, its island holdings have more than tripled, significant
mainland acquisition has also occurred, staffing has increased, a second office
has opened, pressures for increasing public access continue to grow, and new
ecosystem and species plans have been developed with direct bearing on refuge
management.
Third, we want to pursue a new Refuge Headquarters and Coastal Education
Center. Proposed site criteria are presented in Chapter 3 under “Refuge Admin-istration”.
Fourth, we have developed strong partnerships,
vital to our continued successes. State agencies in
Maine, Tribal governments, private landowners,
the public, and our conservation partners were
actively engaged in this plan’s development. We
feel it is our responsibility to clearly develop our
priorities through this plan.
Finally, we need a CCP to guide us in future land
protection that promotes the conservation of
nationally significant coastal habitats and Federal
trust species.
All of these reasons clearly underscore the need
for the strategic direction provided in a CCP.

Chapter 1
1-4 Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge
The Refuge lies within the Gulf of Maine Watershed in the State of Maine (Map
1-1), and stretches along the entire 200 air-miles of the Maine coastline, from
approximately the New Hampshire border, down east to Cobscook Bay (Refer
to Maps 1-2 to 1-12 at end of chapter).
It is comprised of five separate refuge units: Cross Island, Petit Manan, Seal
Island, Franklin Island, and Pond Island national wildlife refuges. Each has
separate establishment histories and refuge purposes as described below, but
they are referred to collectively as the “Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife
Refuge”. Seal, Franklin, and Pond islands are single-island refuges. Cross Island
Refuge is a six-island complex, while Petit Manan Refuge includes 33 islands
and 3 mainland divisions, including: Petit Manan Point (2,195 acres), Sawyers
Marsh (933 acres), and Gouldsboro Bay (607 acres) divisions. One additional
division, Corea Heath (400 acres), is a pending transfer from the U.S. Navy.
All totaled, the Refuge includes approximately 7,961 acres of diverse coastal
Maine habitats including forested and non-forested offshore islands, coastal salt
marsh, open field, and upland mature spruce-fir forest. The acreage is consid-ered
approximate because of the variability in the accuracy of our sources. We
use surveyed acres, the most accurate, where available; otherwise, we may use
less accurate deed acres or GIS-generated mapping acres. Also, it is important
to note that Service acquisition of approved islands has been on-going during
development of this final CCP. Refuge Headquarters should be contacted to
obtain the most up-to-date ownership information.
This section presents hierarchically, from the national to the local level, highlights
of Service policy, legal mandates and regulations, and existing resource plans
and conservation initiatives which directly influenced development of this final
CCP.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) administers the Refuge System.
The Service is part of the Department of Interior. Its mission is:
“Working with others, to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife
and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American
people.”
By law, Congress entrusts national resources to the Service for conservation
and protection: migratory birds and fish, Federal-listed endangered and threat-ened
species, inter-jurisdictional fishes, wetlands, certain marine mammals, and
national wildlife refuges. The Service also enforces Federal wildlife laws and
international treaties on importing and exporting wildlife, assists with state fish
and wildlife programs, and helps other countries develop wildlife conservation
programs.
The Service manual contains the standing and continuing directives to implement
its authorities, responsibilities, and activities. This manual can be accessed at:

Special Service directives which affect the rights of citizens or the authorities of
other agencies are published separately in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) and are not duplicated in the Service manual. Most of the current
regulations that pertain to the Service are issued in 50 CFR parts 1-99. CFRs

http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/index.html
The National Wildlife Refuge System (Refuge System) is the world’s largest
collection of lands and waters set aside specifically for the conservation of
wildlife and ecosystem protection. Over 545 national wildlife refuges are part of
the national network today. They encompass more than 95 million acres of
lands and waters in all 50 states and several island territories. More than 40
million visitors hunt, fish, observe and photograph wildlife, or participate in
environmental education and interpretive activities on refuges across the nation
each year.
The 1997 Refuge Improvement Act established a unifying mission for the
Refuge System; a new process for determining compatible public use activities
on refuges; and, the requirement to prepare CCPs for each refuge. The Act
states that first and foremost, the Refuge System must focus on wildlife conser-vation.
It further states that the Refuge System mission, coupled with the
purpose(s) for which each refuge was established, will provide the principal
management direction on that refuge.
The mission of the Refuge System is:
“To administer a national network of lands and waters for the
conservation, management, and where appropriate, restoration of the
fish, wildlife, and plant resources and their habitats within the United
States for the benefit of present and future generations of Americans.”
(Refuge Improvement Act; Public Law 105-57)
The Refuge Improvement Act declares that all existing or proposed refuge uses
must be “compatible” with the refuge’s purpose and consistent with public
safety. “Compatibility” is determined by the refuge manager after evaluating an
activity’s potential effect on refuge resources and determining it supports the
Refuge System mission and does not interfere with or detract from the refuge
purposes and goals. Six wildlife-dependent public uses were designated in the
legislation to receive enhanced consideration on refuges and in CCPs. The six
priority uses are: hunting, fishing, environmental education and interpretation,
and wildlife observation and photography.
The Refuge System manual provides a central reference for current policy
governing the operation and management of the Refuge System not covered by
the Service manual, including technical information on implementing refuge
policies and guidelines. This manual can be reviewed at Refuge Headquarters.

Policies, Mandates, and Plans
Final CCP - April 2005 1-7
This report on the Refuge System is the culmination of a year-long process
involving teams of Service employees who examined the Refuge System within
the framework of Wildlife and Habitat, People and Leadership. The report was
the result of the first-ever System Conference held in Keystone, Colorado in
October 1998, attended by every refuge manager in the country, other Service
employees, and scores of conservation organizations. The heart of the report is
the collection of vision statements and 42 recommendations. Many “Promises
Teams” have been formed to develop strategies for implementing the recom-mendations.
We utilized information from such teams as Wildlife and Habitat,
Goals and Objectives, Strategic Growth of the Refuge System, Invasive Spe-cies,
and Inventory and Monitoring. Their recommendations helped guide the
development of goals, strategies and actions in this CCP.
While Service and Refuge System policy and each refuge’s purpose provide the
foundation for management, national wildlife refuges are administered consistent
with a variety of other Federal laws, executive orders, treaties, interstate
compacts, and regulations pertaining to the conservation and protection of
natural and cultural resources. The Digest of Federal Resource Laws of
Interest to the USFWS lists them and can be accessed at:
http://laws.fws.gov/lawsdigest/indx.html
As we describe in detail in the Final EIS, we utilized the following plans in
developing our CCP goals and objectives:
■ North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP; update 2004)
■ The Black Duck Joint Venture Plan (Final Draft - Strategic Plan, April 1993)
■ North American Waterbird Conservation Plan (Version 1, 2002)

As described above under the section titled “Project Area,” the Refuge spans
the entire Maine coastline. It includes lands in the towns of Cutler, Machiasport,
Jonesport, Roque Bluffs, Addison, Milbridge, and Steuben in Washington
County; the towns of Gouldsboro, Winter Harbor, Swan’s Island, Tremont in
Hancock County; the towns of Vinalhaven, Saint George, and Friendship in
Knox County; the towns of Boothbay, South Bristol, and Southport in Lincoln
County; the town of Phippsburg in Sagadahoc County; the town of Harpswell in
Cumberland County; and the town of Kittery in York County. The Refuge
Headquarters is currently located in Milbridge, with a staffed, satellite office in
Rockport.
The Service has acquired lands for the Refuge through a variety of acquisition
methods. These include gifts from private individuals, land trusts, statewide and
national conservation groups, and transfers of title from the U.S. Coast Guard
and U.S. Navy. In addition, when funds are available, we have purchased
through fee title acquisition or conservation easement, important mainland tracts
and nationally significant coastal nesting islands.
All acquisitions have been from willing sellers or donors. With approval of this
CCP, we obtained permission from our Director to expand the boundary of the
Petit Manan Refuge. The former boundary and the new boundary are described
in our Land Protection Plan (Appendix A).
Historically, our land acquisition funds come from
two sources: the Land and Water Conservation
Fund, appropriated annually by Congress, and the
Migratory Bird Conservation Fund, which is
replenished through the sale of Federal duck
stamps. Annual expenditures for the Refuge land
acquisition program have recently averaged
approximately $1 million/year.
The rate of our coastal island acquisition began a
steady increase in 1993, and since that time, the
Service has acquired an interest in 31 islands. All
of these have become part of this Refuge, although
they may lie closer to Rachel Carson or Moosehorn
refuges. This allows us to concentrate our exper-tise
and the logistical resources needed to manage
seabirds on off-shore islands.

Refuge Purposes and Land Acquisition History
Final CCP - April 2005 1-9
The purpose and land acquisition history for each of the five individual refuge
units within the Refuge are presented below. All acreages presented are
rounded to the nearest whole number and represent U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS) land acres above the mean high water mark.
This refuge is 65 acres and was established in 1972 because of its “...particular
value in carrying out the national migratory bird management program.” It was
established under authority of 16 U.S.C. 667b, an Act Authorizing the Transfer
of Certain Real Property for Wildlife or Other Purposes, 16 U.S.C.667b-667d,
as amended. It was acquired in transfer from the U.S. Navy.
This refuge is 12 acres and was established in 1973 because of its “...particular
value in carrying out the national migratory bird management program.” It was
established under authority of 16 U.S.C. 667b, an Act Authorizing the Transfer
of Certain Real Property for Wildlife or Other Purposes, 16 U.S.C.667b-
667b, as amended. It was acquired in transfer from the U.S. Coast Guard.
This refuge is 10 acres and was established in 1973 because of its “...particular
value in carrying out the national migratory bird management program.” It was
established under authority of 16 U.S.C. 667b, an Act Authorizing the Transfer
of Certain Real Property for Wildlife or Other Purposes, 16 U.S.C.667b-667d,
as amended. It was acquired in transfer from the U.S. Coast Guard.
This refuge is currently 5,771 acres and consists of 33 islands and three main-land
divisions. The fourth mainland division, Corea Heath, is a pending U.S.
Department of Navy transfer. This Refuge was originally established in 1974
“...for use as an inviolate sanctuary, or any other management purposes, for
migratory birds.” It was established under authority of the Migratory Bird
Conservation Act, 16 U.S.C. 715d. In addition to the Migratory Bird Conser-vation
Act, the succession of islands and mainland parcels acquired after 1974
were acquired with one or more of the following purposes:
“...suitable for - (1) incidental fish and wildlife-oriented recreational
development, (2) the protection of natural resources, (3) the
conservation of endangered species or threatened species” (Refuge
Recreation Act, 16 U.S.C. 460k-1); or
“...particular value in carrying out the national migratory bird
management program” (An Act Authorizing the Transfer of Certain
Real Property for Wildlife, or other purposes, 16 U.S.C. 667b-667d)
“...the conservation of the wetlands of the Nation in order to maintain
the public benefits they provide and to help fulfill international
obligations contained in various migratory bird treaties and
conventions...” (Emergency Wetlands Resource Act of 1986, 16 U.S.C.
3901(b), 100 Stat. 3583).
Its acquisition history is described in Table 1-1.

This six-island refuge is 1,703 acres and was established in 1980 “…for use as
an inviolate sanctuary, or any other management purposes, for migratory birds.”
It was established under authority of the Migratory Bird Conservation Act, 16
U.S.C. 715d.
Its acquisition history is described in Table 1-2.
Very early in our planning process our team developed this vision statement to
provide a guiding philosophy and sense of purpose for our planning effort.
“We envision the future Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge
epitomizing the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System; conserv-ing
in perpetuity an incredibly rich tapestry of coastal islands, intertidal
estuaries, freshwater wetlands, maritime forests and open fields; and,
enabling nesting and migrating seabirds, and other wildlife of conserva-tion
concern in the Gulf of Maine, to thrive here.
With the help of our conservation partners, we will apply sound, scien-tific
principles and adaptive management strategies to sustain the long-term
health and integrity of coastal Maine habitats; expand community
outreach and environmental education and interpretation programs; and,
stimulate visitors to embrace stewardship of natural resources.”

Chapter 1
1-12 Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge
These goals were developed after consideration of our refuge purposes, the
Service and Refuge System missions, our vision, and the mandates, plans, and
conservation initiatives described above. They are intentionally broad, descrip-tive
statements of purpose. They highlight elements of our vision statement that
are emphasized in future refuge management. The biological goals take prece-dence,
in particular Goal 5, but otherwise, the goals are not presented in a
particular order.
Goal 1: Perpetuate the biological diversity and integrity of upland communities
on the Refuge’s mainland properties to sustain high quality habitat for migratory
birds.
Goal 2: Maintain high quality wetland communities on the Refuge’s mainland
properties, primarily to benefit migratory birds of high conservation priority,
while also supporting other native, wetland- dependent species of concern.
Goal 3: Perpetuate the biological diversity and
integrity of upland communities on the Refuge’s
islands to sustain high quality habitat for nesting
bald eagles and migratory songbirds and raptors,
and to protect rare plant sites.
Goal 4: Protect the high quality wetland commu-nities
on the Refuge’s islands to benefit nesting and
migrating shorebirds and waterfowl.
Goal 5: Protect and restore nesting seabird
populations on the Refuge’s islands to contribute
to regional and international seabird conservation
goals.
Goal 6: Promote enjoyment and stewardship of
coastal Maine wildlife and their habitats by provid-ing
priority, wildlife-dependent recreational and
educational opportunities.
Goal 7: Protect the integrity of coastal Maine
wildlife and habitats through an active land acquisi-tion
and protection program.
Goal 8: Communicate and collaborate with local
communities, Federal, State, local, and Tribal
representatives, and other organizations through-out
coastal Maine to further the mission of the
National Wildlife Refuge System.
