It feels like it was the last hurrah, thinking back to the Maine Fishermen’s Forum last year, held March 5-7 at the Samoset Resort in Rockland. It was the 46th event that drew fishermen from throughout the state. The purpose is to share information and experiences about everything from advances in groundfishing gear to discussions about wind energy. And to enjoy good company too. There’s an annual Seafood Banquet and Auction as well as social events throughout the three-day forum.
This year, things will, of course, be different. But, true to the persistent and flexible nature of the fishing community, there will still be opportunities for conversations about important topics facing Maine’s fishing fleet. The very first of these will address shellfish. Shellfish Focus Day usually marks the kick-off of the Forum. It’s almost like the pre-game event since it happens early in the program. But, its audience has been growing every year, to the point that last year it was hard to find a seat in the large auditorium.
