Our pristine waters, lifestyle, fish, wildlife, and our future. This is why Mainers clean, drain, dry.

Once an aquatic invasive species is established in a body of water, that water changes forever - as an ecosystem, a resource, and treasured destination. Future generations deserve to experience the same clean, clear waters we enjoy today.

Prevention works. Keep the momentum going with specific clean drain dry actions for boaters, paddlers, and anglers at mefishwildlife.com/cdd.

LOON NESTING UPDATE!!

As of this morning, June 4th, 2026, the loon pair has laid eggs on the nesting raft. The mother will need to sit on the eggs for most of day and night for about a month in order for the eggs to hatch.

Here's how you can help them:
- Stay 150-200 feet away at ALL times. It doesn't matter if you are quiet and approaching on a paddle board, kayak, etc... loons see us as a threat. If people or boats gets too close, the mother will get off her eggs and this could result in them never hatching.
- If you can avoid the cove altogether until late July that is best!
- Boats should be operating at headway speed within 200 feet of shore which is where the floating nesting raft is. Going too fast will cause waves that could flood/wash our their nest.
- If you see someone getting too close, politely and kindly ask that they give more space and explain why. Many people don't realize they are stressing the loons out because they aren't always loud. If the loon lowers it's head... you are already WAY too close.

Reminder: Nesting loons are protected. It is illegal to harm, capture, kill, possess or intentionally disturb nesting loons or their eggs. Contact the Game Warden's office immediately to report any wrongdoing: 207-287-8000.

Background: In the summer of 2024, the Crystal Lake Association partnered with Maine Audubon to learn more about how to support the pair of loons who spend their Spring and Summers on Crystal Lake nesting each year as they had multiple unsuccessful attempts. We launched the first loon nesting raft that summer and have maintained/launched it since in addition to monitoring the behavior of the loon pair.
