Issues

Serving on Marine Resources will give me the opportunity to better represent the concerns of my district of four islands and a peninsula, all with historical and present-day working connections to the ocean.  

Our committee work will be essential to ensuring a viable and sustainable yield of fish, lobster and other organisms from the ocean. We will work toward a balance that will be good for our marine environment, good for our local maritime economy, and good for the economy of the state of Maine.
