Draft Mission Statement

No other single act pollutes Sebago Lake, diminishes its biodiversity, and disrupts the populations of its flora and fauna more than the present rigid lake level regulation.

No other single act has produced the volume of shoreline erosion and sedimentation of Sebago Lake water than the present artificial lake level management.

No other single act has disrupted the fisheries of Sebago Lake with cascading effects from the far inland reaches of the watershed to the Atlantic Ocean than fragmentation of this inland water drainage by impassable dams and flow regulation which run counter to the seasonal cycles of nature.

The mission of Friends of Sebago Lake is to promote scientific inquiry and investigation of the impacts of this unnatural regulation of Sebago Lake and the Presumpscot River.

Through education, information, and reliance on the will of human nature to rise above politics and to do what is sound, the Friends of Sebago Lake strive to protect and restore Sebago Lake.
