The Observatory has conducted plant inventories on over 75 islands along the coast of Maine and counting.
This project aims to improve understanding of plant abundance and distribution on Maine’s coastal islands and set down baseline data. The maps and lists that are created by these efforts are used by conservationists and biologists to track changes in the plant populations on Maine’s coastal islands for generations to come.
