March 4, 2024 — Maine fishermen earned an additional $25 million dockside in 2023.
The total value of Maine’s fisheries came to $611,277,692, according to preliminary figures for 2023 the Maine Department of Marine Resources released Friday morning.
That’s a boost compared with 2022’s $574,049,682, but a far cry from the record more than $890 million hauled in throughout 2021. 2022’s catch was more in line with recent catches.
