The Working Waterfront is always under threat from economic development. Everybody wants to be on the water. These fishermen did something about the recent threat to their livelihood and helped stop any further new hotel development on the waterside of Commercial Street. The work they did with the city has benefitted all of us who wish to protect the Working Waterfront from extinction. And, by the way, Portland is one of the LAST working waterfronts still in action.
Please join fishermen, their families and friends Thursday October 3, 5-9 PM at Becky's Diner for an Art Auction to help offset the legal fees.
