  • Penobscot East is working with the Stonington Lobster Co-op, and several local fishermen to start a Stonington-base Community Supported Fishery (CSF) program for shrimp. Penobscot East is also working with two fishermen from MDI who will operate a CSF from that island.

    As part of Penobscot East's mission to secure a future for the fishing community of eastern Maine we are working to diversify the fishery, so that we have good alternatives to lobstering.

  • Established in 2007, Midcoast Fishermen's Cooperative created the first Community Supported Fishery program in New England.  Port Clyde Fresh Catch seafood is harvested by the last fleet of groundfishermen between Portland, Maine and the Canadian border. The cooperative's fishermen harvest their catch using environmentally sustainable fishing methods that reduce by-catch, habitat impact and fossil-fuel consumption. Seafood orders are then custom cut to meet customer specifications in our Port Clyde-based, HAACP-certified processing facility before delivery or shipping.

  • Lobster Shareholders Bill of Rights
