Penobscot East Resource Center works to secure a future for fishing communities from the Penobscot Bay Islands east to Jonesport. We work primarily by fostering community leadership and making community science projects possible. We also work in education and advocate for community-based management. We are located in the former elementary school in Stonington, Maine, and employ a small staff. Penobscot East is overseen by a ten-member board.
