Harvesters

For 300 years, rugged men from Maine’s fishing villages have braved the sea to return with a harvest.  Today Maine’s vibrant seafaring community of over 10,000 fishermen and women make half a million trips annually to bring home the Gulf of Maine bounty.

Supported by 26,000 land-based aquaculturists and processors, this daily harvest is brought ashore in 53 ports along her 3,500-mile coastline.  

Here,  the next chapter of Maine’s great marine heritage is being written by 10th generation fisherfolk, entrepreneurs, tinkerers, town selectmen, college grads and visionaries – Mainers all.

Meet a few of these harvesters and aquaculturists working today in this steadfast community that is Maine’s working waterfront – to bring you, the home-cook, the finest seafood in the world.
