Located at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy on the New Brunswick - Maine border, the Quoddy Region is, for its size, the richest marine area in the Gulf of Maine. For over 10,000 years, this unique ecosystem has provided for the inhabitants of these shores and over 3,000 species of marine creatures. Today, based on tourism, fisheries, aquaculture, research, and education, our eco-economy brings over a half billion dollars annually to the area and is the last refuge for many threatened species including the north Atlantic right whale, the most endangered marine mammal on the planet.

We are the original sustainable community, but the continued existence of this natural gift has been constantly threatened by potential and real developments. Since World War I, developers have proposed mammoth port development, oil refineries and tank farms, LNG terminals, coastal quarries, and other developments that threatened existing sustainable enterprises. Throughout all of these proposals, Quoddy residents have been on the defensive evoking a NIMBY* response from the developers. We think that we need to take the offensive. It's time for us to show that "We Love Quoddy" and to proactively protect and develop our unique ecosystem and the sustainable enterprises that depend on it.
