Fisheries

The sustainability of Maine’s year-round islands and its working coastal communities depends on healthy fisheries. Should they collapse, these vibrant places would soon lose their schools, their young families, their churches, libraries and historical societies and their general stores.

Vision of Health

Without effective stewardship of the fish stocks, year-round communities would become hollowed-out places, populated only by the caretakers of a few seasonal homes, with blank windows facing an empty harbor most months of the year. We are fiercely committed to the vision of healthy, marine resource-based economies in the Gulf of Maine.
