I enjoyed seeing the wide range of issues that you presented on your site. It helps people understand the role that Mackerel Cove plays in our community.
I especially liked how you quantified the amounts of trash that you collected and that you plan to take additional measurements and share those over time."Mr. Spaeth
"I grew up on that beach starting in 1952. I know it is a very difficult task to keep clean! I appreciate you doing your best to clean it up and the islanders of past years do too! Good luck and make it fun! Just reviewed the sight...it is awesome! It covers quite alot and I am proud of you! The fishermen NEED to wake up or be revealed! Thanks!" Shirley
"Hello: I am the chairperson of the Time and Tide Resource Conservation and Development Area, an area that works within your towns and county as well as others. I have also participated in many service learning and conservation projects as a member of my own community and the Maine Conservation Corps. I want to congratulate you all for your conservation work, for that is what you are doing, conserving and protecting our natural resources for yourselves and all of us plus for future children and adults. For years now, an old friend of mine has spoken about the amounts of trash being dumped, on purpose, into the seas of our world. There is some effort happening to let people know about this problem, your web site is just one way people can learn. It is excellent to see the work you have done to make a well rounded presentation of your work. Thank you, on behalf of my council members and the counties we represent: Androscoggin, Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Knox, Waldo, and Kennebec."
