Voices of the Maine Fishermen’s Forum

Dan Harriman, Cape Elizabeth, ME

Dan Harriman is a fisherman who operates the stateʼs last mackerel weir in Cape Elizabeth, ME. He speaks about his experience fishing and discusses the issues he sees in the fishing industry such as unsustain- ability and lack of access. He believes these challenges stem from knowledge not being passed between generations and suggests that change needs to come from the bottom up.
