| March 6th, 5:00-6:30 PM | Future of Fishing | The Future of Fishing video challenge has been launched, and the deadline is February 27th!
This challenge is to help young fishermen share their fishing experience, hopes and aspirations in a short video. These short snippets will be reviewed and compiled into a virtual presentation on March 6th for everyone to enjoy online. Please pass this challenge on to your friends and family – we are hoping to engage younger Maine fishermen (and their older peers) with this opportunity to talk about their commercial fishing hopes and dreams! All types of fisheries are included (elver fishing, seaweed, aquaculture, lobstering and groundfishing and all others)! There are so many young fishermen in Maine – the challenge is on!
