Founded 1976, The mission of the Maine Fishermen’s Forum is to provide opportunities on a continuous basis to educate the public and the fishing industry about fisheries and marine resource issues, and to provide a neutral platform for constructive discussion and decision making.

The Maine Fishermen’s Forum holds an annual three day event which focuses attention on issues affecting the commercial fishing industry. The event is held each year in March at the Samoset Resort in Rockport, Maine. The Forum attracts thousands of people from fishing related businesses, government agencies, individual fishermen, scientists, and public organizations that serve the industry. The Forum happens through a volunteer effort by people who donate hours of time, equipment, and services.

VISION of the Maine Fishermen’s Forum
We envision a world where:

  • There is a healthy fishing industry engaged in stewardship and self-regulation, utilizing resources that are maintained at sustainable levels with continuous opportunity for independent fishermen to have responsible access to the commercial waterfront, the resources, and fishing grounds;
  • Management decisions are made at as local a level as appropriate and are based upon a broad systems approach;
  • The public and the industry are continuously informed in a constructive manner about the resources, the industry and their issues.

    • GOALS of the Maine Fishermen’s Forum
    Four major goals have been identified by the Directors:

    1. An educated public and industry
    2. Interaction and sharing among industry, science, and managers
    3. An industry, the segments of which actively listen to one another and understand one another and each other’s particular issues. (This would include managers and the environmental community.)
    4. Enhanced networks and a sense of community.
