Newcastle and Damariscotta have a working draft of a joint Harbor Management Ordinance and interlocal agreement covering moorings, harbor districts, aquaculture, marinas, and abandoned vessels. The Select Board is being asked to schedule a November 12 public hearing, with a joint town meeting targeted for December 10 to adopt the ordinance. This policy update will change how moorings, harbor maps, and marine facilities are managed, which may create follow-on needs for harbor mapping, mooring management systems, and enforcement tools.
Ordinance establishes five harbor districts, Harbor Committee authority, harbor master duties, mooring and marina regulations, and cost/budget responsibilities for the administering town.
