Saving Our Lakes

Summary Maine's 5,700-plus lakes pump an estimated $2.5 billion into the state's economy every year. But human activity is reducing water quality in many of our lakes, which affects everything from property values to tourism dollars to fish. The Belgrade Lakes region is a crucible for these pressures- and an ideal place to learn how to contend with them. Researchers from Maine's Sustainability Solutions Initiative are doing exactly that by studying how development affects lake water quality and local economics.
