WELLS HARBOR SHELLFISH LAB

There’s something new at Wells Harbor… the Wells Harbor Shellfish Lab had their soft opening last summer .

Thanks to Harbormaster Michael Yorke, who applied for a grant from local skylight business Velux, plus a lot of assistance from local volunteers, the Shellfish Lab houses tanks containing “seed clams” as well as a touch tank housing Starfish, Hermit Crabs and Horseshoe Crabs (see photo on right) .

Photos of building, sign & interiors: compliments of Matthew Rainey Photography

The interior was decorated by resident photographers Matthew Rainey and Jen Lippe along with Matthew’s wife Nancy . As you can see from the pictures, they did a wonderful job .

There is hope to have a student intern for the summer months to provide background information on life below the ocean

If you have an interest in volunteering to keep the building operating through the shoulder seasons, stop by the Harbormaster Office on weekdays or contact him at 207-646-3236 .
