Farms, Fisheries, and Forests
We need to resurrect the Fishing industry and the communities and harbors that are the heart of the Maine Coast. As governor, I will work with fishermen to rebuild the Fishing industry and usher in a vibrant and successful future.
Farming, fishing and forestry were the cornerstones of our state’s economy in our beginnings, and they remain among our most important industries today. These resources define Maine’s real competitive advantages, and investment in the sustainable development of our natural resources can drive Maine incomes higher and shape a better future for all Mainers.
Our efforts to use Maine‘s natural resources in innovative and sustainable ways benefit from something else that has incredible value: Maine’s legendary reputation for quality. That’s our brand, and we must continue to safeguard it, invest in it, and promote it.
