The Department of Marine Resources (DMR), the Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Governor’s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future (GOPIF) are seeking applications for the Working Waterfront Resiliency Grant Program, to direct funding to the owners of critical working waterfront infrastructure that provides significant and compelling community benefits. These funds are available for the purpose of rebuilding wharves and piers of importance to Maine’s commercial fishing and aquaculture industries that were damaged in the winter 2024 storms, with the intent of improving their resilience to the impacts of climate change.
