The Courtesy Boat Inspection Program is the first line of defense in protecting our lake from invasive aquatic species. Toddy Pond has both paid and volunteer inspectors inspecting boats and providing information to boaters from early May through early September.. This statewide DEP program is supported by Toddy Pond Association as well as private and public funding.

Al
Al joins the TPA CBI inspectors for his first year this year. Al retired after working for the EPA in Washington DC for many years. He now lives in Winterport and is an active planter of American Chestnut trees. He can discuss efforts to re-establish these magnificant trees at some length. You can find him at the Toddy Boat landing with his very friendly dog "Jardin".
Stephen
We are pleased to have Steve continue for his 8th season doing CBI at Toddy. He lives within walking distance of the landing and keeps an eye on things even when off-duty. CBI helps support his lobstering activities but we know Stephen loves his job ( and the sun too). He probably knows 95% of the boaters including people he knew from working at the Bucksport mill for over 45 years.
Ed
This is Ed’s third summer doing Courtesy Boat Inspection. Ed is no stranger to boats. Semi-retired now, he is still a master captain for the U.S. Merchant Marine for vessels up to 100 tons, but glad to wind down from that kind of responsibility to making sure boats are clean before entering Toddy. Ed lives on the Bagaduce River in Penobscot and believes in giving back to the community.
Lucy
Lucy has been CBI coordinator for several years, following two seasons as a boat inspector herself at the Toddy landing. She has also done inspections and training county-wide working with Hancock County Soil and Water and initiating a paid CBI program at neighboring Silver Lake. This year Lucy will be co-coordinating Toddy Pond's program leading to her retirement in year 2025.
