Who is The Lakes Environmental Agency (LEA) you ask:

The Lakes Environmental Association (LEA) is dedicated to protecting the waters and watersheds of Western Maine. There are many threats facing our lakes and individuals can only do so much. Even an association representing a cove, road or lake speaks with a small voice that can easily be lost among all the competing interests. So those of us who care really care about our lakes need to speak in a voice loud enough to be heard. Our members often sum up the reason they join LEA in just three words: "Strength in numbers."

For four decades, LEA has been the voice of lake protection in the Lakes Region. Maine might not have a milfoil program today if LEA hadn't fought so hard at the Legislature. When the federal government proposed a nuclear waste dump near Sebago Lake, LEA played a big part in the battle to defeat it. And right now, LEA is trying hard to increase enforcement of Maine's environmental protection laws, while at the same time helping property owners understand how and why lake protection is vital.
