A breakwater responsible for protecting the heavily trafficked waters off Bar Harbor has received an OK for federally funded maintenance after a century of neglect. The project could lead to substantial improvements for the harbor’s many users, which include commercial fishermen, cruise ships and their tenders, passenger vessels and recreational boats. The breakthrough for the breakwater began last month when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers agreed to undertake a review of the project.  That will include making the breakwater taller to account for sea level rise, Eben Salvatore, chairman of the town’s Cruise Ship Committee, told the Town Council at its virtual meeting last week.
