Esta lista se deriva principalmente del Registro de islas costeras de Maine , [1] una base de datos de las 3166 islas costeras desde la más grande ( isla Mount Desert ) hasta los islotes y salientes más pequeños expuestos por encima de la marea alta media. Se han incluido algunas islas de agua dulce del interior notables, como la isla Frye en el lago Sebago .

Descripción de columnas [ editar ]

El número de registro se refiere al Registro de la isla costera de Maine ("MCIR") que asigna a cada isla un número de identificación. Muchas islas tienen el mismo nombre de isla (hay más de 20 "Islas Bar", por ejemplo; más de 30 llamadas "Pequeñas"), pero cada una tiene un número único. Algunas islas que comprenden más de una masa continental tienen varios números de registro bajo un mismo nombre.

La tabla enumera ciudades , pueblos y condados principalmente como una ayuda para la búsqueda, ya que la jurisdicción gubernamental sobre las islas de Maine está plagada de anomalías históricas confusas. Por ejemplo, de las 15 comunidades insulares de Maine habitadas durante todo el año, [2] ocho son pueblos independientes, dos son parte de un pueblo, tres pertenecen a municipios del continente y dos se gobiernan a sí mismos como plantaciones insulares . [3] [4] Algunas islas de Maine nunca pertenecieron a ningún municipio [5] o alguna vez pertenecieron a plantaciones ahora desaparecidas; [6] varias islas se separaron recientemente de las ciudades del continente, [7] y la soberanía de dos islas permanecedisputado entre los EE . UU . y Canadá . [8]

La columna Código se refiere al estado del Registro de la isla de Maine. Todas las islas codificadas como "R" están registradas y son de propiedad privada. Los que figuran como "U" no están registrados y están en fideicomiso del Estado de Maine (algunos de ellos pueden ser de propiedad privada, pero los propietarios no registraron las islas). Las islas enumeradas como "E" están exentas de los requisitos de registro porque son propiedad del gobierno estatal o federal o tienen cuatro o más estructuras y se presume que son de propiedad privada. Las islas enumeradas como "T" son mantenidas en fideicomiso por el estado y la administración se transfiere a una agencia u organización estatal en particular, como el Departamento de Pesca Continental y Vida Silvestre de Maine ("ME IF&W").

La columna Descripción proviene de fuentes secundarias, como se indica. La descripción y la superficie cultivada no siempre están disponibles, ni son constantes, ya que la construcción, la explotación de canteras, la agricultura, la tala, los incendios o incluso una sola tormenta pueden alterar las características de una isla.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ The Maine Coastal Island Registry is maintained by the Maine Department of Conservation. It originated in the 1970s as a means of identifying and cataloging private and public ownership of islands. The registry largely pre-dates conservation easements which often involve some degree of public use of private island property, as for the Maine Island Trail.
  2. ^ The Island Institute's webpage lists Maine's 15 year-round island communities. An overview of the year-round islands is found in Sustaining Island Communities 1998.
  3. ^ Plantations are an old unit of self-government pre-dating towns and counties: islands or clusters of islands once independently administered by town meeting but since the 1970s subject to zoning, taxation, and oversight by a state agency, the Maine Land Use Regulation Commission. There are 116 islands in unorganized townships and plantations under the jurisdiction of the Commission. Preliminary Study of the Coastal Islands 1976, pp 1-3.

  6. ^ For instance, several Penobscot Bay islands were included within the Muscle Ridges Plantation organized in 1878 by the Dix Island Granite Company. The Muscle Ridges plantation ceased functioning with the company's collapse in the 1880s, but was reactivated in 1905 with town meetings, budgets, and a school. It lasted only a decade, however, finally expiring in the midst of World War I. Likewise the Eagle Island Military Plantation in the mid-Penobscot Bay including Eagle, Butter, Bradbury, Bear, and Great Spruce Head islands was organized for a short time to resist Civil War recruitment and then to claim compensation for their volunteers; nothing is heard of it after 1873.

  9. ^ An island is more sensitive than the mainland to change attributable man's activities, due to its limited useful land (glacial surficial deposit creating friable soil as opposed to barren bedrock), small aquifer vulnerable to salt water intrusion, and unique easily disrupted ecosystems.
