We are closed for the season...hoping next year the harvest is much better. Thank you to everyone for their patience as we were hoping for product and have quite a lengthy wait list..the catch was very low and now our boat is on the bank. See you in June 2019🐚🐚🐚🐚

Good morning, We have sent for our processing licenses and hope to open soon. The whelks are starting to show up in our traps!

Due to the rising costs our prices are as follows:
PINT $ 13.00
QUART $ 25.00

I will post here once we have product available.

Beginning Thursday and continuing through the fall, park rangers will conduct safety checkpoints and enhance traffic enforcement efforts in the park to identify drivers impaired by alcohol, drugs, and ma*****na. Park rangers will stop and make brief contact with all drivers passing through safety checkpoints while making every effort to minimize any inconvenience.

In a separate initiative, park rangers will now issue a fee compliance notice for vehicles parked in any location in the park that do not display a valid entrance pass. The operator or registered owner of the vehicle can avoid the $130 fine by obtaining an entrance pass or showing proof of having had an entrance pass within 24 hours at any one of the park's fee collection locations.

“While not displaying entrance pass is a violation, we are offering visitors to Acadia National Park a second chance to obtain an entrance pass rather than pay a more costly fine,” said Superintendent Kevin Schneider. “This effort follows several years of providing increased education to visitors and installing signs throughout the park that indicate the requirement to display an entrance pass.”
