📰 News we're reading
• Maine's Coastline: From Sandy Beaches to Rocky Shorelines (2026) (custommapposter.com) — Maine’s coastline, including Saco Bay, is shaped by sand and sediment carried down the Saco River from the White Mountains, creating long beaches and major salt marshes. The piece explains how these softer southern shores contrast with rocky Midcoast inlets that support lobster and oyster industries, highlighting Saco and nearby towns as key tourism draws.
