Now in its third year, our member benefits program continues to expand. Check out www.mita.org/benefits for discounts on moorings, kayak rentals, classes and more! These could easily exceed the cost of your membership.

If you RENEW your membership by February 5th, you won't receive a paper reminder! This saves paper, and keeps costs down, allowing us to put more of your money where it makes the most difference. Please consider this environmentally-friendly option. RENEW NOW >>

310 acre Private Island on the ocean in Penobscot Bay, Maine. Looking for an island steward/public access monitor to live on the island in a one room cabin for the summer. Responsibilities include patrolling the island four times a day by ATV to enforce the owner’s permission for the public to access the eastern side of the island only. The steward will have a lot of interaction with public visitors and therefore must have a patient personality and posses good communication skills.
