Abstract

"News" piece on the first non-game forum sponsored by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IFW), which was held in Farmington Mar. 20. Susan Kinast, a student at the University of Maine at Machias, presented concerns about the unregulated harvest of snapping turtles. A public hearing will be held May 13 on proposed rules setting a season, limiting the size of turtle that can be caught, requiring harvesters to report their take, and mandating a $42 permit fee.
