Down East scallop fishermen favor new rules
MACHIAS, Maine — Only seven Down East scallop fishermen attended a public hearing Tuesday night to express their approval of proposed new dates for scallop fishing, closure regulations and limiting scalloping to Monday through Friday.
 

It was the second hearing in two days; two more will be held this week.

Togue Brawn and Laurice Churchill of the Maine Department of Marine Resources are conducting the hearings in four locations up and down the coast.

The first hearing was held in Yarmouth Monday night; the third meeting will be held at 6 tonight at State Ferry Terminal in Rockland; and the final hearing will be at 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 12, at City Hall in Ellsworth.

Written comments will be accepted by DMR until Aug. 23.
