Frenchman Bay Regional Shellfish Ordinance
The towns of Ellsworth, Franklin, Hancock, Lamoine, Sorrento, Sullivan, and Trenton
act collaboratively as stewards to preserve, protect, manage, and enhance the shellfish resources and ecological well-being of the Frenchman’s Bay Region and to ensure a sustainable harvest of shellfish and opportunity for those who make their living on the tide.
Recreational shellfish licenses are available for sale at the Sorrento Town Office.
Commercial harvesters licenses must be purchased at the Franklin Town Office.
Funds generated from license sales and town contributions pay for the enforcement of the ordinance.
Conservation Warden Mike Hall, (207) 400-6183 or (207) 963-7104, enforces the ordinance on the flats.
