PORTLAND — Maine’s wildlife agency has been awarded $2.3 million in federal grants that will go toward protecting nearly 500 acres of the state’s coastal wetlands.

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is getting the money from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant program.

According to Maine’s U.S. senators, the money will help protect Long Cove and Seal Cove in Washington County, Basin Cove and Curtis Cove in Harpswell, and the Henshaw parcel and Maquoit Bay shore frontage in Brunswick.
