Ducks are amazing animals, but unfortunately there is not a lot of accurate information out there on caring for them as pets. Join us in learning all the ins and outs of duck care; housing, feeding, maintaining, health and protecting them from predators.

Cara Cribb is the founder and executive director of Anchor ME Farm, a nonprofit that provides a safe space for people by doing therapeutic activities with unconventional animals. Ducks have been an instant favorite animal and coming across all of the issues with this species, Cara has learned how to care for each one and would love to share. 

Learn about the eviction of a complete community living on Malaga Island in Casco Bay in 1912. Learn the prehistory of the island's use by our indigenous people and post history of the island after the eviction. Learn a bit about the mainland African American village in coastal Maine that no longer exists but predated the Malaga Island Colony. Visit the island remotely through a slide show created by Master Maine Guide, Alice.

Are you interested in obtaining a USCG Captain's License? Do you want to learn the difference between an Operator Uninspected Passenger Vessel (OUPV) license and a Master 100GT license, and what experience the Coast Guard requires for each?

This informational session will help answer these questions and others about the two licenses. The different methods for completing the course requirements will also be discussed.

We plan to offer both courses in Maine during the Fall 2025, representing the Captain School Key West / Miami.

This information session is free, but please register in advance, so the instructor knows how many individuals will attend and can send login instructions.
