LOBSTER CO-OP SECURES A PIECE OF WORKING WATERFRONT

WCSH - Another piece of Maine's working waterfront has been given special protection. The Bremen Lobster Co-Op has 13 acres of waterfront on Muscongus Bay, and 28 fishermen work from the docks.

The fishermen who own the Co-Op say they agreed to deed restrictions to guarantee the property is always there for commercial fishing. In return, the Co-Op receives $300,000 from the land for Maine's future program, the money will pay for needed repairs and for a modern chilled water system so they can store lobsters much longer.
