A Message From Maine Boating Administrator
May 12, 2008
MESSAGE FROM MAINE’S BOATING LAW ADMINISTRATORS*
The Maine Warden Service and the Maine Marine Patrol jointly share the enforcement of Maine’s boating laws and regulations. With more than 6,000 inland lakes and ponds and 32,000 thousand miles of rivers and streams patrolled by Maine Game Wardens; and the more than 3,000 miles of coastline patrolled by Marine Patrol Officers – we cannot be everywhere at once. Without the help of boaters who take the time to learn and practice boating safety, our job would be an impossible task.
Freshwater or saltwater, many of Maine’s waters are very cold, even during the warm summer months. No matter how experienced you are as a boater or swimmer we personally request that when you are boating in Maine that you set the example and wear a life jacket!
As you take to the water this year please be mindful that you might be sharing your favorite lake, pond, river or stretch of coastline with other boaters whom have varied interests. If you are an experienced boater please take the time to educate a person who may be new to boating by explaining safe boating practices, boating laws and rules and the importance of letting some know where you are going.
Many Maine boaters are hunters, anglers or people who use boats to earn their living and transport them to their primary activity. It is very important that whether your plans are to go duck hunting on a marsh, fly fishing in a river or scuba diving in the Atlantic Ocean, that you do not forget boating safety.
With proper knowledge and safety equipment, boating can be a very safe and enjoyable pastime. If you have questions about boating safety or regulations, we recommend that you contact your local Game Warden or Marine Patrol Officer before you go.
Modern lifejackets are manufactured in a variety of styles to fit everyone’s needs and activities so “Boat Smart from the Start”and wear your lifejacket!

*Boating Law Administrators are designated persons from each State who administer and oversee boating safety policy and regulation and represent the State in the National Association of Boating Law Administrator’s.
A Message From The IFW Commissioner

A MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Dear Maine Boater:
On behalf of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, I would like to thank you for choosing to boat in Maine. Maine has an abundance of beautiful waterways throughout the state, and it is up to us, as boaters, to keep them that way for generations to come.
As a boater, it is through your help that we are able to continue to provide access to waters across the state. Excise taxes collected from the sale of fuel; as well as from the sale of boats and fishing equipment help fund the acquisition, creation, and maintenance of access sites throughout the state.
The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife has built and maintained over 100 boating access sites, and we continue to search for new sites in all areas of Maine. The cost of these sites continues to climb however, as the cost of waterfront property continues to increase, and the number of properties availabe seemingly shrinks each year. However, we realize the importance of our duty to create and provide access points, because we know that if we don’t, access to Maine’s lakes, rivers and streams will continue to dwindle.
This year, when you stop to refuel your boat, please remember that you are helping to fund boating access sites throughout the state.
Thank you for your help in providing access for all of us.
Roland D. Martin
Commissioner
Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife
A Message From The Governor
May 12, 2008
A LETTER FROM THE GOVERNOR
Maine truly is a unique place to boat; 6,000 lakes and ponds, 3,000 miles of coastline, and over 32,000 miles of rivers and streams; is there any other state whose waters can offer such a combination of beauty and variety?
Maine places a high priority on providing public access to these waters due to the fact that Maine’s waterways are valued so by residents and visitors alike. The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife works diligently to provide access to Maine’s waters, whether it’s a remote mountain pond, or Maine’s Casco Bay.
Even though Maine’s coast and inland lakes are state treasures, just a fraction of those have dedicated public access. While this department works in securing access for boaters and improving existing access points, your actions as a boater will go a long way in keeping access open and creating new public access points in Maine.
Enjoy your time out on the water this season.
John Elias Baldacci
Governor
