Man - what ISN"T banned in maine? Even angelfish banned in maine? I
could understand maybe egeria densa (it would grow like a weed most
anywhere and cause major problems but the others in this list have
me worried about severely restricting freedom in maine and this
country) being banned but man....Good luck and later mister gardner
- by the way - do you live in maine?

I tried to make it clear in my note with these lists, the plants are
BANNED, the list of fish are PERMITTED.

Oooops, sorry about that! That makes a lot more sense but I think I agree
with you that it is still a very restrictive piece of legislation.

The problem with the fish list
is that any fish not on the list is not permitted, and there are a
whole lot of fish that the department hasn't gotten around to
investigating and (hopefully) adding to the list. Many of us believe
that the list should have been determined by EXclusion rather than
INclusion.

Again. The fish in the list are the only fish PERMITTED in Maine.

And yes, I live in a small town along the Penobscot Bay in Maine.
Driving directions are easy from the lower 48: Go to Boston and hang a
sharp left. And keep going. And going. And going. And going. And
going. During your visit, please spend money. Lots of money.

Do you guys need the money? I live in a tourist town and might be able to
direct some tourists your way. I do regret that my town is a tourist town
though - because of things like corruption (although that isn't necessarily
caused by tourism) in the city government, the rich taking over and pushing
us middle class and poor (obviously) out and terrible vehicle traffic.I know
a lot of people here that hate driving especially because of the traffic
caused by the tourism. Good luck and later!
