At Seascale, we believe the future of Maine’s working waterfront lies in collaboration and innovation.

We welcome input from the fishing and aquaculture communities as we refine our approach, ensuring that new opportunities align with the needs of those who rely on the ocean for their livelihoods. Your insights and experiences are invaluable in shaping a licensing model that balances sustainability, profitability, and tradition.

Seascale is pioneering a new method of shellfish farming that blends the efficiency and mobility of commercial fishing with the steady returns of aquaculture. By designing low-cost, easy-to-use gear that integrates seamlessly into existing boats and fishing operations, we see a tremendous opportunity to strengthen Maine’s coastal economy.

For this approach to succeed, mobility is key. Just as lobstermen shift their traps with the seasons, this gear needs the flexibility to move in response to changing conditions and industry needs. Ensuring that this system remains adaptable will help protect fishing grounds while maximizing the potential of aquaculture as a complementary source of income for fishermen. We’re committed to working alongside regulators, industry leaders, and fishermen to build a resilient and prosperous future on the water.
