FW Thurston Co. applies to increase floats and shore access
TREMONT — After several years of negotiating with the town regarding the position of floats, the owners of FW Thurston Co. are submitting two applications for Tier 3 Natural Resources Protection Act permits with the Department of Environmental Protection to add 14 floats in total to their operation in Bernard.
FW Thurston buys and sells lobsters and operates Thurston’s Lobster Pound on the western shore of Bass Harbor, next to the town’s wharf in Bernard.
One application submitted under Woof Wagon LLC is for a marina on the north side of the property that abuts the town wharf. A second application, under Michael and Elizabeth Radcliffe, owners of FW Thurston, is on the south side of the property.
