Accessing the Maine Coast

The Maine Working Waterfront Coalition Listserv is a forum for discussing and sharing updates, ideas, and questions relating to Maine’s working waterfront industry. The Maine Working Waterfront Coalition is a statewide, non-partisan collaboration of public and private marine sector partners dedicated to supporting and enhancing Maine’s working waterfront through policy, communication and outreach, data projects, and pursuing funding opportunities to support collective work.

An important purpose of the Coalition, and driver behind this Listserv, is to help share information across sectors within the working waterfront industry; to build networks, foster collaboration, and inform policies and programs. This listserv will serve as a platform for interested members of the public, industry members, practitioners, and others to discuss and share matters relating to Maine’s working waterfronts. 

The Listserv is hosted by the University of Maine and maintained and moderated by the Leadership Committee of the Maine Working Waterfront Coalition.
