Sustainable economic development can benefit the fishermen and communities of the areas we serve.

Restoring traditional fisheries and creating opportunities for marine research will strengthen Maine’s coastal communities. Projects such as the Zone C Lobster Hatchery have created new opportunities for local fishermen to participate in - and directly benefit from – cutting edge marine research.

We invite you to look at the facts and figures for the marine species landed in Maine. These numbers starkly illustrate the need to re-diversify our fisheries.
