HARBOR MANAGEMENT A Legal Guide for Harbormasters and Coastal Officials
This handbook
is a revised version of the Guide for Harbor Management, Bulletin 648
(University of Maine Cooperative Extension Service), written by William
Prosser. Changes in the law governing harbormasters’ responsibilities have
necessitated updating the original guide, which has become a valued
reference among Maine’s harbormasters.
The University of Maine Cooperative Extension Service provides educational
and organizational assistance to harbormasters. The Maine Harbor Masters
Association, organized in 1986 with Extension’s help, provides an
opportunity for harbormasters to discuss common concerns and exchange ideas.
No longer do harbormasters in some 143 coastal, island and tidal communities
need to be isolated. Harbor Management: A Legal Guide for Harbormasters and
Coastal Officials is designed to be a ready reference for newly appointed or
experienced harbormasters.

CREAM AND SUGAR FOR THE LOCAL BREW? TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE GRANTS TO SUPPORT
LOCAL SOLUTIONS
The brew of
local solutions comes in many flavors and strengths in Maine’s coastal
communities and the Maine Coastal Program is there to provide the cream and
sugar to lighten the brew (load) and sweeten the taste (task).
All too often, local issues can simmer away until the brew is dark and
bitter. This can be the case with resolving land use conflicts, reaching a
decision on a new harbor use, preserving working waterfronts, providing
public access to the shore, supporting resource management like shellfish
programs, and addressing other resource management issues.
In a home rule state like Maine, with a distributed CZ program that relies
on the administration and implementation of core environmental and land use
planning laws to achieve the State’s coastal policy, many of the tough
coastal development issues and problems come from the bottom up, from the
local level.
