On July 11, 2024, the Harpswell Select Board adopted a “Right To Fish” policy which codified the rights of fishermen/women to ply their trade. I, for one, was left dumbfounded by this notion that men and women moving to Harpswell were unaware of the fact that the very community they were living in was built on, and continues to thrive off, the labor of our hard-working men and women on and offshore. I will continue to stand up for our longest standing trade, I will fight tooth and nail for our fishermen and women – and so should others. ~ Andrew Piantidosi, Cape Elizabeth
