The Island Institute is a nonprofit organization that serves as a voice for the balanced future of the islands and waters of the Gulf of Maine. We are guided by an island ethic that recognizes the strength and fragility of Maine's island communities and the finite nature of the Gulf of Maine ecosystems. Along the Maine Coast, the Island Institute seeks to:
Support the islands' year-round communities;
Conserve Maine's island and marine biodiversity for future generations;
Develop model solutions that balance the needs of the coast's cultural and natural communities;
Provide opportunities for discussion over responsible use of finite resources, and provide information to assist competing interests in arriving at constructive solutions
Mysteries abound in the 2008 Island Journal, from its stunning, fog-bound cover image to "The Missing Rednecks of Washington County," the "ghosts" of Gotts Island and the true story behind President Roosevelt's secret "fishing trip" off the coast of Maine in 1941. You'll also enjoy a folio of new images by photographer Peter Ralston, explore the intriguing cultures of Sardinia and the Scottish isles, learn how a small group of Maine fishermen has set a new standard for conservation, and find out how wind-power might transform year-round island life. Read these stories and many more in the 24th edition of Island Journal.
Since its launch in 1993, The Working Waterfront newspaper has earned a reputation for being "essential reading" for anyone who wants to be well-informed about the issues important to Maine's year-round islands and working-waterfront communities. Incorporating the Inter-Island News, with its fascinating glimpses of life on-island, as well as articles on a wide range of local, state and regional issues by an outstanding cadre of community journalists, the WW appears 10 times a year.
