Two months after many wooden piers along Maine’s coast were severely damaged or destroyed by a pair of storms, another storm has brought some additional destruction. Perry’s Lobster Shack in Surry, which functions as a lobster buying pier for local fishermen and as a seasonal takeout restaurant, was destroyed Sunday when it was submerged by storm surge in Union River Bay. The loss of the pier is the latest setback for working waterfront properties along the Maine coast, which are struggling to stay in business despite the impacts of climate change and sea level rise.
