WORKING WATERFRONTS
Protections There are multiple ways to protect working waterfronts, which are critical to Maine’s coastal economy. Every fishing trip starts and ends at a dock and the success of many marine businesses depends on access. ! !

WHY THIS MATTERS
This wharf is the site of Maine’s first aquaculture cooperative, which is vertically integrated and developing novel approaches and products for the fishing industry.
Protecting access to working waterfront infrastructure supports the people who make their living from the ocean and helps ensure communities will continue to be connected to the businesses that rely on this infrastructure.
