Frenchman Bay Shellfish

Mission Statement: “The towns of Ellsworth, Franklin, Hancock, Lamoine, Sorrento, Sullivan, and Trenton will act collaboratively as stewards to preserve, protect, manage, and enhance the shellfish resources and ecological well-being of the Frenchman’s Bay Region and to ensure a sustainable harvest of shellfish and opportunity for those who make their living on the tide.”

The Municipal Joint Board (MJB) consists of representatives from each participating community in the program.  The conservation program as directed through the MJB, includes area rotations and flat closures, ensures harvesters have productive areas to dig throughout the year.  Most importantly the ordinance protects our towns from harvesters from other areas of the state.

2024-2025 Upcoming Meetings

Currently, there are approximately sixty commercial harvesters from the seven-town region.  There were also nearly two hundred recreational licenses issued.  Funds generated from license sales and town contributions pay for the enforcement of the ordinance.  Our Conservation Warden is Michael Boucher 479-0620​, who enforces the ordinance on the flats.

The Municipal Authority is Franklin.  Franklin is the only town approved to issue commercial licenses to residents in any of the seven towns.

Sullivan is forming a Roads Task Force so that we can develop some long-term plans for the town roads.

This group will advise the Select Board on roadwork to be done throughout the town.
