1 The North American Wetlands Conservation Act: Working for Maine The North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) is an incentive-based, landowner-friendly program that fosters the development of public-private partnerships to protect North America s migratory bird habitat. NAWCA Positively Impacts the Economy and Creates Jobs NAWCA has benefited the national economy by translating $1.26 billion in federal funds into more than $5 billion in onthe-ground conservation and economic activity in North America. These expenditures have created, on average, nearly 7,500 new jobs annually in the United States, generating more than $200 million in worker earnings each year. NAWCA Effectively Leverages Private Sector Funds Since enactment in 1990, federal NAWCA grants have leveraged more than $3.8 billion in partner funds. Partners have included thousands of landowners, private companies, conservation non-profits, federal agencies and all 50 states. NAWCA requires a 1:1 match, but partners at the local level often triple or quadruple federal funds. NAWCA Expands Recreational Opportunities for People The abundance of wildlife including many species of waterfowl, migratory birds, fish, and mammals supported by wetlands translates into multi-billion dollar activities for Americans who enjoy hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing and photography. NAWCA Benefits Hundreds of Wildlife Species NAWCA helps fulfill the mission of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan by providing migratory birds with essential habitat needs. NAWCA projects also benefit other fish and wildlife species, including rare, threatened and endangered species that are dependent on wetlands ecosystems. Conserving and Restoring Wetlands Increases Water Quantity and Quality Wetlands store water and recharge aquifers, thus securing future water supplies. Plants and soils in wetlands play a significant role in purifying water, removing high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, and in some cases, removing toxic chemicals before entering the groundwater supply. Some wetland plants have been found to accumulate heavy metals in their tissues at 100,000 times the concentration in the surrounding water. BAGADUCE RIVER WATERSHED PROJECT Photo Courtesy of Maine Coast Heritage Trust The Bagaduce River Watershed project, which received a $1 million NAWCA grant in March of 2012, will protect and restore 1,188 acres of estuarine habitat in southern Maine. The Federal grant was matched by the Maine Coast Heritage Trust and partners with $2.1 million in private money. The Bagaduce River and associated uplands, which are connected to the Penobscot Bay, provide vital wintering and breeding habitat for migratory birds, waterbirds, and a host of other wildlife. The people in surrounding areas were also extremely excited upon hearing the news from the US Fish and Wildlife Service of the $1 million grant. Maine Coast Heritage Trust is quoted as referring to the River as a place in which local residents and state biologists alike consider extraordinary providing more than 2,700 acres of intertidal habitat which supports migrating and wintering waterfowl, migrating shorebirds, wintering, migrating and nesting Bald Eagles, and Black Ducks. * *Information from MCHT

5 Parker River and Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuges were established to provide critical habitat for migrating and overwintering birds, principally waterfowl and shorebirds, along the North Atlantic Coast. Located less than 40 miles apart, they provide strategic links in the chain of migratory stopovers along the Atlantic corridor. By the 1930 s, over ninety percent of the salt marshes in the northeastern US were parallel-grid ditched for mosquito control. Led by Ducks Unlimited, the objective of this project was to both provide permanent protection to a 33-acre salt marsh, and to restore natural tidal hydrology to an additional 34 acres of salt marsh by remediating the past ditching activities that served to drain the marsh. Parker River & Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuges The unique nature of this project, which links protection and restoration efforts between joint venture focus areas and across state boundaries, reinforces the critical need for quality coastal habitats for use as migratory stopovers throughout the North Atlantic Coast, and regardless of political boundaries. The project areas in Parker River and Rachel Carson NWR are both located within Atlantic Coast Joint Venture focus areas, and provide valuable foraging, migration and wintering habitat for a variety of waterfowl species such as the American black duck, northern pintail, mallard, gadwall, Atlantic brant, Canada geese, and American wigeon. In particular, the coastal marshes in both areas are used extensively by American black duck during migration and for overwintering, where the extensive system of emergent marsh, tidal creeks with exposed mudflats, and small ponds and pannes on the marsh surface provide a source of seeds and invertebrates which is critical for foraging birds.
