Can anyone direct me to a link where I can find the appropriate Maine laws about property boundaries on salt water?  I am curious about how much of the beach is owned and how they determine it, whether by measuring from high or low tide or some other way.  Is it determined by the county, municipality or by the state of maine?

Contact your county clerk (or a member of the county board of supervisors) and as the question of them.  They will be able to tell you what zoning applies and what is applicable in that zoning.

This was a particularly mind-numbing investigation, but what I turned up was this--  In the CONFERENCE REPORT ON H.R. 889, COAST GUARD AND MARITIME TRANSPORTATION ACT OF 2006 (House of Representatives - April 06, 2006) under Title IV (Miscellaneous) of page H1660, section 414, 'Opinions regarding whether certain facilities create obstructions to navigation,' it says:\n\n"Section 419 of the House bill requires the Coast Guard to  provide an opinion in writing that states whether a proposed wind energy facility would create an obstruction to navigation in any case in which a person requests the Secretary of the Army to take action to permit a wind energy facility under the authority of section 10 of the Act of March 3, 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403)."\n\n"The Senate bill does not contain a comparable provision." \n \n"The Conference substitute adopts a provision that prohibits the construction of an offshore wind energy facility in Nantucket Sound unless approved by the Commandant of the Coast Guard."\n\n-------\n\nWhat made this tricky, other than the obtuse legalese everything is written in, is that there are five versions of H.R.889, Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2005, and even though I had read through the entire bill, I never found the above mentioned section 419.  This was because I had read one of the versions that doesn't have a section 419 listed under miscellaneous!\n\nThe Engrossed as Agreed to or Passed by House version of H.R.889 (Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2005) states in section 419, 'Opinions regarding whether certain facilities create obstructions to navigation':\n\n"In any case in which a person requests the Secretary of the Army to take action to permit a wind energy facility under the authority of section 10 of the Act of March 3, 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403), the Commandant of the Coast Guard shall provide an opinion in writing that states whether the proposed facility would create an obstruction to navigation."\n\nOf the eleven officially documented amendments to the bill (7 passed, 1 failed, 3 withdrawn), I found nothing to indicate Section 419, Cape Wind, or offshore wind energy facilities, meaning that it must have only been adopted through a conference proposal as sited in the April 6th report. \n\nAs best I can understand it, all that remains now of Young's efforts to change the bill is the authorization of the Coast Guard Commandant to issue the final ruling on the safe proximity of a wind structure to the shipping lanes, not the originally proposed 1.5 mile restriction. This is the standard procedure that most countries that have these off shore windmills follow, allowing their coast guard equivalent to rule on their placement on a case by case basis.  So, I'm not sure what's so upsetting about this, unless they suspect that the US Coast Guard is in somebody's pocket and will rule unfairly.\n\nAs an aside, Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK), in conjunction with Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA), has proposed new legislation that would give the govenor of Massachusetts the power to halt the Cape Wind project.

It depends on what the easement is for(ie.pipeline, electrical, sanitary etc...) Get the number for your town's planning commission or building permit office.  They should be able to tell you what can or can't be built there.

That's a great hobby you chose and not a more perfect location too!  I'm from Portland and what I suggest is do a search on the net in the yellow pages in the Portland area and lookup rec stores like REI or things like that and call 3 of them up and ask for suggestions on the best route to take when starting out windsurfing, oh, also hint:  Live and work in Vancouver, WA.  Right across the river, but cheaper to live, just as beautiful and if you work there, you don't have state taxes taken out and you can just drive 2 miles across the river and shop in Oregon for no sales taxes, yeah baby!  Good Luck on your new hobby!

The Maine State Bar Association (MSBA) has no role in the admission of people to the practice of law and no role in the regulation or discipline of lawyers, according to their website.  \n\nInstead, you should contact the Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar.  The Board regulates the conduct of lawyers by enforcing the Maine Bar Rules adopted by the Court. The purpose of the Bar Rules is provide appropriate standards for attorneys with respect to their practice of the profession of law, including, but not limited to their relationship with their clients, the general public, other members of the legal profession, the courts and other agencies of this State.  Under the Bar Rules, the Board appoints Bar Counsel who investigates alleged misconduct by lawyers and, when authorized to do so by a reviewing panel of the Grievance Commission, litigates grievance complaints at public disciplinary proceedings.

Border states are the states that border other countries as in Texas bordering Mexico or Maine bordering Canada\n\nI think..not positive but I think its also the states bordering the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, as well. Someone may have a more positive answer on that.\n\nAnswered my own question, no it doesn't include the oceans...the link below provides a map

Its a zoning designation, check with your local planning board or county tax assessor, they should know the details of exactly what it means in your particular area.
