Maine Coast Fishermen's Association releases a video highlighting the importance of the deep water port to the fishing industry in Portland Maine and surrounding communities.
"The working waterfront is our collective connection to the sea, to the deep maritime tradition, to the work ethic and soul of this place. Men and women of the fishing community, for generations, have been willing to tackle the sea to return with harvest; always a life or death gamble. Hotels and condos become meaningless without the context of our fishing community. To lose our working waterfront would be to betray the cultural context of this state."
12 little wharves
