    The document summarizes a proposal to enhance stakeholder involvement in watershed stewardship in the lower Penobscot River watershed in Maine through the development of an online interactive map of water resource data. The map would provide stakeholders easy access to both raw and synthesized water data. Through needs assessments and evaluations, a beta version of the map would be created, improved, and made available online by mid-2008. The project aims to have 80% of stakeholders reporting using the maps within 6 months and 60% expressing satisfaction with the maps. A final report on the surveys and final map interfaces would be available in February 2009.
