Shellfish harvesting in Casco Bay is important to many– let’s keep it that way!

If you dig clams, please join other shellfish harvesters from Biddeford to Georgetown to address pressing issues facing this industry. The recently launched Casco Bay Regional Shellfish Working Group is an opportunity to compare notes, share expertise, and improve management, conservation, research, and monitoring across towns and stakeholders in Casco Bay. The goal is to support municipal shellfish management programs and work together on actions to move the industry forward.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: All members of the shellfish community in the Casco Bay area are welcome and encouraged to participate, including harvesters, municipal committee members, shellfish wardens, and marine resource officers. Municipal shellfish license holders may be eligible to receive conservation points (or hours) in their municipality for attending.
