Hallowell — Department of Marine Resources Commissioner Patrick Keliher plans to participate in many of the different breakout sessions at the upcoming Maine Fishermen's Forum, March 1-3 at the Samoset Resort. Keliher was sworn in on Jan. 26, after serving for six months as the DMR’s acting commissioner.
In addition to sitting in on many of the forum's scheduled sessions, Keliher will be guest of honor at a Meet the Commissioner forum.
