Scarborough bans fireworks on Higgins Beach to protect piping plovers

Scarborough bans fireworks on Higgins Beach to protect piping plovers The endangered shore birds nest on part of Higgins Beach, leaving them susceptible to noise from summertime revelers. Scarborough has banned fireworks on Higgins Beach this summer to protect the nesting grounds of piping plovers. Bill McCanna / Portland Press Herald The Scarborough Town Council has voted to enact a partial ban on fireworks in the area of Higgins Beach, in part to protect the endangered piping plover, a shore bird that nests in the sands of the beach. Councilor Jean-Marie Caterina initially asked for a total fireworks ban townwide, but at the council’s April 21 meeting the board approved a partial ban on the use of consumer fireworks from Spurwink Road (Route 77) to the coastline, Caterina said. The ban stops where Spurwink meets Black Point Road, confining the ban to mostly the area near Higgins Beach.

In photos: Let there be light Daylight saving time started again on Sunday, leading to dreams of those long summer nights in Maine, when the sun doesn t set until after 8 p.m. There s a bipartisan bill in Congress now, called the Sunshine Protection Act of 2021, sponsored by politicians as different as U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Ed Markey, D-Mass., that would make DST permanent. If it passes, we would not switch our clocks back in the fall. Meanwhile, Press Herald photographers took advantage of our lengthening days to look for beautiful light. Posted Photo by Shawn Patrick Ouellette
