The Maine Healthy Beaches Program is a partnership between the University of Maine Cooperative Extension/Sea Grant, Maine State Planning Office/Coastal Program, Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Maine Departments of Conservation and Environmental Protection, local municipalities and the beach-going public. The program is funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through the Beaches Environmental Assessment, Closure and Health Act of 2000.

On this page, you'll find contact information for our primary partners and links to basic water quality information. For a treasure trove of healthy beaches information on the Web, visit our Resources page!
