Protect The Passage - - Lower Flying Point

Protect the Passage was formed over two years ago to preserve and protect the coastal waters of Freeport Maine from the negative consequences of a commercial scale shellfish aquaculture operation that would cover an almost 7 acre site with a float, generator, lights and power washing equipment.

The potential downsides include negative effects to: local flora and fauna, navigation and other traditional uses like fishing and lobstering.

The preliminary draft decision Made by the Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR) is in our favor, but there is more to do, and we hope you can help.

Protect The Passage is totally self-funded. We have incurred legal expenses to stand up for what we believe. We are now reaching out to everyone to help defray the costs of legal counsel and expert testimony that was presented at the Maine Department of Marine Resources hearing. Please consider donating.
