At the scoping session, the applicants will explain their tentative proposals to members of the public. It’s an opportunity for members of the public to provide feedback on the proposals, prior to the applicants submitting final applications and an eventual public hearing. This meeting does not determine whether the proposals will be granted.

 How to participate:

You can attend the session or contact the applicant. A copy of the draft lease applications, which include the applicant’s contact information is available on DMR’s website under ‘Maine Aquaculture Leases and LPAs.’ Questions about the leasing process may be sent to: DMRaquaculture@maine.gov
