BANGOR, Maine (WABI) –
The Maine Aquaculture Association has been granted funding to assist fishermen and lobstermen with training and resources.
The organization is getting nearly $65,000.
Aquaculture businesses that provide our state with shellfish, fin fish, and sea vegetables will benefit.
The immediate focus will be to help farmers create a plan for surviving the next two years of COVID impacts, with a secondary focus on five and 10-year growth plans.
On any given year, members of the Maine Aquaculture Association represent between 80 and 90% of the active sea farming companies in the state.
