The 2023 Forum will be held from March 2nd through March 4th at the Samoset Resort in Rockport. This is the largest event of its kind in New England – one dedicated to offering fishermen, clammers, lobstermen, aquaculturalists and other related seafood industry participants an opportunity to meet on neutral ground with fisheries managers, state representatives, Congressmen and Senators.  If you wish to reserve a room at the Samoset Resort please contact us to get on the email list and we will send out information in January 2023.  If you wish to purchase meal tickets for the evening events, please go to our website and choose Evening Social Events in January of 2023.

We offer over 30 seminars on different subjects related to the fishing industry, gear regulations etc. In addition, there are family programs, a Trade Show, a Seafood Reception highlighting Maine’s delicious seafood, a Banquet/Dance on Saturday night.  We also host a  Benefit Auction to raise Scholarship funds for the kids that will be held on Friday, March 3rd, 2023.

We want welcome you and your entire family to get away to the Forum – for a whole bunch of great reasons!  There is no cost to attend the seminars, tradeshow, or auction.
