In "Waypoints: Connect" we set out to better understand the status of Maine’s coastal infrastructure systems, with a focus on the topics where we see local and state leaders grappling with change. We looked at data that are central to our physical, economic, and civic infrastructure to consider how coastal communities are connected to resources that help them thrive. This publication will be released on February 7, 2020.

"Waypoints: Livelihoods on Maine’s Coast and Islands" is dedicated to quantifying the way coastal Mainers make a living and presents new data that tells the story of how income levels, prevalence of self-employment, impacts of fisheries, and seasonality of the labor force define the economic and cultural landscape of our region.

In response to requests from island community members to help them access clear, accurate data and meet local needs for planning and decision-making, we have expanded our biennial publication, formerly Island Indicators, to provide the best available information about local economies, communities, and environments in a simple, easy to use format.
