Harvesting set to begin Monday, May 15

May 10 Harvesting will begin on Monday, May 15 as long as the level of Damariscotta Lake subsides a bit. Recent rains raised the level of the lake more than a foot, which complicates the management strategies needed to attract and harvest alewives in the harvesting area. Look for updates here soon. The harvester and fish agent, Mark Becker, can be reached at 380-7996.
