Understanding the Working Waterfront: A Guide for Coastal Communities
Our newest project has been the development of a working waterfront brochure providing information to new and current residents of coastal communities. Working waterfronts are a central part of the Maine identity and a huge contributor to our economy, but they’re facing many challenges right now—gentrification, storm damage, rising costs, etc. We think it is important that people moving to coastal communities are aware of the role that working waterfronts play, what to expect, and how to protect and preserve working waterfront access. This brochure outlines the sights, smells, and sounds of working waterfronts and how aquaculture is playing a new role in increasing coastal resiliency.
Vibrio Simplified for Aquaculture Products: Decision Tree for Growers/Dealers/Enhanced Retail Seafood License Holders
As of 2024, oyster harvesting in all of Maine’s territorial waters are required to meet Vibrio Control Regulations per Chapter 115, from June 1st to October 15th. These regulations apply to all oyster and hardshell clam harvesting, wild or farmed. You can view the full vibrio regulation guidelines and training information here.
We created a vibrio decision tree for aquaculture products to make the steps of achieving vibrio compliance easy to follow. Please note that resubmergence is ONLY allowed on an aquaculture lease site, and this decision tree is meant to be utilized only for aquaculture products.
