"Preface

The purpose of this report on the St. Croix River watershed is to help inform and educate, and to support the development of a common understanding and vision for natural resources in both Maine and New Brunswick. It was prepared under the guidance of the International St. Croix River Watershed Board, as part of an effort by the International Joint Commission (IJC) to promote a grassroots, integrated approach to conserving water resources along the Canada-U.S. border. The information presented provides an overview of the current state of the river, watershed, and significant temporal trends in selected indicators. This is a preliminary compilation of available information, and does not represent a formal position taken by the Board on specific issues. It is hoped that this report, by summarizing available information and pointing to gaps in our present knowledge, will help the people of the St. Croix basin on both sides of the border to develop watershed plans, studies, and projects to address common challenges."
