Water-Dependent and Water-Enhanced Uses
Water Related Uses
-
The State(Maine)
defines a “water dependent use” as one which requires direct access to
water, including a variety of different purposes such as fish storage and
processing, shipyards, and marina facilities.

Waterfront - Ports & Harbors
Water-dependent uses are defined as "an activity which can only be conducted
on, in, over or adjacent to a water body because such activity requires
direct access to that water body, and which involves, as an integral part of
such activity, the use of the water". New York State

MAINE REPORTS: Aquaculture company hopes to raise cod Down East
SORRENTO — Pen-raised Atlantic cod may be grown commercially for the first
time in Maine if an experimental aquaculture lease application by
co-applicants Great Bay Aquaculture and James West is approved.
After a public hearing on Feb. 20, the Department of Marine Resources began
its review of the permit application. The aquaculture company is seeking a
three-year, experimental lease for net pen culture of Atlantic cod in
Frenchman Bay just south of Preble Island.

Aquaculture, the controlled cultivation and harvest of aquatic animals and
plants in the sea, has been growing rapidly in Maine during the last decade.
According to the Maine State Planning Office, the economic potential of
aquaculture exceeds the current value of the state's traditional fisheries.
However, as this new industry grows many issues arise which the public must
address. A proper balance must be found between the economic benefits of
aquaculture and maintaining environmental quality. In Making New Waves:
Aquaculture in Maine, aquaculture industry members, environmental organizations,
shorefront landowners, scientists, state regulators, town officials, and others
express their views and concerns about this burgeoning industry.

Aquaculture: Down on the Salmon Farm - Farmed salmon grown along the Maine coast
provides an affordable alternative to wild salmon. But is aquaculture creating
more problems than it's solving? There is no shortage of people getting in on
this rapidly changing industry in northern New England and across the globe. But
aquaculture has had its share of controversy with pollution, toxins and
diseases. Can science help find the solutions? Researchers at universities
around the region are racing to come up with innovations to help fish farmers.
We'll see how they're trying to rescue a maligned industry...and save the small
family fish farms that are suddenly disappearing from Maine waters.

AMES A/E,
Architects & Engineers | Serving New England From Offices in Maine & New
Hampshire
Project Details: AMES A/E faced the unique challenge of designing a facility for
aquaculture research. Design development included considerable research into
possible building systems to best resolve the unique criteria of an aquaculture
facility. Challenges included clear spanning an 80-foot building to accommodate
tanks and allow for flexibility, withstand high humidity and continually wet
conditions, and prevent mold in hidden areas. The exterior envelope is of
prestressed, insulated concrete panels with an R value of 25. The interior face
of the panels is high-strength concrete with a smooth steel troweled surface for
washability and temperature control. Temperatures range from 50 to 70 degrees in
controlled zones. Each area has extensive drainage systems and sump pits for
equipment and piping. AMES A/E was able to solve these complex problems yet
maintain a simple and functional setting.
