Key Facts

  • It is one of the nation’s most significant coastal resources.
  • Twenty percent of Maine’s tidal marshes are found within the estuary, representing the largest concentration of salt marshes in the state.
  • Its coastal wetlands, upstream spawning grounds and forested uplands provide critical habitat for a diversity of wildlife and plant species.
  • Given its relatively undeveloped condition, the Kennebec Estuary offers the opportunity for large scale conservation in fairly intact estuarine ecosystem.
