Voices of the Maine Fishermen’s Forum

Merritt Carey, Yarmouth, ME

Merritt Carey lives in Yarmouth, Maine and grew up summering on the Maine coast. In this interview, she recounts her experiences as a child in Tenant’s Harbor. As an adult, Merritt worked with Luke Holden and other community members to found the Tenant’s Harbor Lobster Co-op. She explains how her first summer job helped make that collaboration possible.
