Friends of Casco Bay is a community of people who care about this special place. Our mission is to improve and protect the environmental health of Casco Bay. Concerned citizens formed Friends of Casco Bay/Casco Baykeeper® in 1989, after a report identified our waters as one of the most polluted regions in the nation. One of our first efforts was to launch a Water Quality Monitoring Program to assess the health of the Bay. Informed by the scientific data that our staff and volunteers collect, our Baykeeping Program advocates for solutions to problems threatening our waters. Our other programs include the Casco Bay Curriculum—designed to help teachers bring the Bay into the classroom, our BayScaping Program—to reduce the amount of lawn care chemicals flowing into our waters, our vessel Pumpout Service—to help boaters be better stewards of our environment, and numerous volunteer projects. We are a founding member of Waterkeeper® Alliance. Our ocean-going boats, our water testing kits, and our scientific data may set us apart from other environmental groups, but the strength of our organization is in our people. We are a community of over 2,400 members and 310 dedicated Volunteers, led by 15 Board Members and the expertise of 8 Staff, working to improve and protect the environmental health of Casco Bay.
