For seventeen years, Friends of Casco Bay has been the leading environmental organization working to improve and protect the environmental health of Casco Bay through advocacy, education, collaborative partnerships, and water quality monitoring. FOCB is the headquarters of the Casco BAYKEEPER®, Joe Payne who uses a “work with” approach to resolve pollution issues that threaten the Bay. His balanced advocacy helps people understand that the region’s economic health is dependent upon the Bay’s environmental health. Friends of Casco Bay addresses threats to the water quality of the Bay from oil spills, sewage discharges, toxic sediments, stormwater pollutants, vessel discharges, dredging spoils, and pesticides and fertilizers.
