Small-scale owner-operators are at a competitive disadvantage when foreign industrial corporations are taking over. Companies are taking up hundreds of acres for exclusive use AND exclusive profit. See who is getting these private benefits of a public trust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d43607f05a6e70001894e29/c72895d1-60b9-448a-aa1d-403267e92026/unsplash-image-gF4FmoPtU2k.jpg Mission The Maine lobster industry is under attack and yet it is one of the greatest economic drivers we have. Learn how important it is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d43607f05a6e70001894e29/1566861045021-DR5DR0Y2HO3Q4BH2LSVB/JonesportBeals.jpg Mission We are working to ensure proper state regulations are in place to prevent a rapid, unplanned expansion of aquaculture in Maine. Conflicts are arising up and down the Maine coast for the lobstering, marine harvesters and boating communities. We must find a way to co-exist without hurting the environment or fisheries that have been well managed and sustained for generations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d43607f05a6e70001894e29/1566862277920-TOOGPAC4508IZI9V342C/IMG_1765.jpg Mission Tourism is one of Maine's greatest economic drivers. If we don't protect the environment we are undercutting the very reason many come to Vacationland. We can't allow Maine’s beloved ocean to be leased to foreign corporations. Maine is working to do just that. Learn more here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d43607f05a6e70001894e29/1566944686814-XZ3F2PDOTO2VU1YEGDJY/43828556_2196813573975269_7245364688798613504_o.jpg Mission We are non-partisan. Our loyalty lies with fishermen, lobstermen, marine harvesters, small aquaculturists, and the state’s citizens as we work to ensure that Maine will live up to the public trust doctrine, which asserts that the state holds land lying beneath navigable waters as trustee of a public trust for the benefit of ALL its citizens. https://www.protectmaine.com/endorsements daily 0.75 2026-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d43607f05a6e70001894e29/1652028810379-ODSD1N92YW2VN4MW0GIZ/unsplash-image-udzxPSX6txw.jpg Endorsements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d43607f05a6e70001894e29/1765653079930-H4HSI1A4Z5ZHHM5P5P4E/Screenshot+2025-12-12+at+9.54.46+AM.png Endorsements - GLEN MELVIN, WALBOBORO I would like to take a moment and thank Protect Maine for being there for Maine fisherman. As an example, one fishing industry (clamming), runs very low on resources and even lacks a communication platform. Protect Maine has filled that gap for us. From their position on aquaculture to backing shellfish towns on their quest to survive, they have helped the Maine fishing industries beyond words. Thank you for caring and giving a damn about us…ALL OF US. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d43607f05a6e70001894e29/1566942697324-ED258D2NYMBNZF8OFAJM/image-asset.jpeg Endorsements - TOM BENNETT, FREEPORT “Any loss of bottom to the lobsterman is very, very significant.
