The Mission
Lake Stewards of Maine (LSM) promotes lake stewardship and helps protect Maine lakes through widespread citizen participation in the gathering and dissemination of credible scientific information pertaining to lake health.
LSM trains, certifies and provides technical support to hundreds of volunteers who monitor a wide range of indicators of water quality, assess watershed health and function, and screen lakes for invasive aquatic plants and animals. In addition to being the primary source of lake data in the State of Maine, LSM volunteers benefit their local lakes by playing key stewardship and leadership roles in their communities.
