 You can attend the session or contact the applicant. A copy of the draft lease application, which includes the applicant’s contact information is available on DMR’s Aquaculture webpage under ‘Maine Aquaculture Leases and LPAs.’

You may also submit written comments on the draft application. Written comments must be received by 5:00 p.m. on February 7, 2023. Written comments may be sent via mail or email to the address below:
