If you needed one more indication that summer in New England has arrived, we have one – the arrival of our Summer 2011 edition of Conservation Matters, CLF’s quarterly newsletter! This issue features one of our favorite parts of a summer outdoors- water. So, grab a spot in the shade (or on the beach) and crack open the latest issue of CM.

Here’s what’s in store for you:

• Read about how CLF is leading the charge for a cohesive, coordinated approach to ocean management planning that balances the need to protect fragile ocean creatures and habitats while maximizing the ocean’s economic development potential, such as offshore wind development;
• Catch up on how CLF has finally gotten MassHighway to curb toxic stormwater runoff from its roads that was contributing to hazardous water pollution problems in nearby waterways;
• Learn how CLF New Hampshire Advocates Society member Honor Passow and her husband and sons carry on the family tradition of environmental conservation
• Meet CLF Maine Staff Attorney Jane West and find out why she traded her Florida air-conditioning for the changing seasons and unspoiled landscapes of New England – and how CLF Maine is tackling the state’s biggest environmental challenges.
• Hear from CLF President John Kassel on why New England’s oceans, and the folks who look forward to who enjoying them every summer  – are worth protecting.
