Frame the Bay Photo Categories

Consider this list a source of inspiration.

Scenic: Send us your Casco Bay landscapes, splashing waves, winding rivers, lighthouses, and any image that shows the beauty of the Casco Bay watershed (underwater too!).
Wildlife and Animals. Dogs, birds, sea creatures…you name it! We want to see the critters of the Bay.
Diversity of the Bay: Show us how Casco Bay is used by all walks of life – working waterfront, recreation, and inspiration. How do you engage with the Bay?
