About this Event:
The first-ever Maine Working Waterfront Conference will take place on November 12-13, 2026, in Bar Harbor. It will focus on working waterfronts as they support the seafood economy and all the services that sustain this sector.

Maine’s working waterfronts are a critical part of our state’s economy, community, identity, and heritage. Maine is nationally recognized as a leader in this arena. While the stewardship of and investment in Maine’s working waterfronts is at an all-time high, the challenges have never been more acute. Storms, sea level rise, gentrification, conversion, maintenance, and other challenges demand the sharing of creative solutions to protect working waterfronts and our coastal communities.

Join us to:

  • Be part of the conversation about the future of Maine’s working waterfronts
  • Support the people and businesses that make Maine’s working waterfronts possible
  • Learn about ongoing efforts to bolster coastal and working waterfront resilience
  • Explore tools for statewide, regional, and municipal planning
  • Understand issues facing our working waterfront communities and efforts to address the challenges
  • Get updates about inventories and other tools to assess the status of our working waterfronts
  • Learn about funding programs, permitting guidance, and infrastructure solutions
