Stonington Fishermen look to Sen. Blumenthal for change
Gambardella Wholesale Seafood used to unload boats every day at the Stonington Pier but now they are lucky if they see two boats a week pull into the harbor.

Ocean Kayaking in the Deer Isle Region of the Maine Coast – Stonington to Isle au Haut
The Maine Island Trail (MIT) is a 375-mile chain of over 180 wild islands along the coast of Maine. In mid-July friends Dundee, Cully, David and I did a three day paddle on the MIT in the Deer Island Region. The Deer Isle Region extends from Stonington south to Isle au Haut and east into Blue Hill Bay.
We tented two days on the two acre Steves Island (name by coincidence.)
Click the link below for our video and pictures of our 21 plus mile ocean paddle, including our campsite, eating mussels, mackerel, granite quarry, and a Google Earth map of our MIT route.
We put-in at Stonington, Maine at the Old Quarry Ocean Adventure campground. Let me introduce the below short video on our three day itinerary with two nights camping on Steves Island that included an 11 mile roundtrip to the Isle of Haut.
The video starts with use of Google Earth to show the mapping of our trip. There are 65 islands between Stonington and the Isle au Haut of which there are 28 islands permissible for MIT members. Paddling in this area requires a map and compass – as it is very easy to get lost amid the many islands in this area.
· Day 1 was a 4.6 mile paddle from Webb Cover to the 2 acre Steves Island where we camped for two nights.
· Day 2’s 11 mile paddle was from Steve Island to Harbor Island, where we walked around the Island. We continued our paddle pass Merchant Island, Pell Island, Nathan Island, and entered the waterway of the Isle au Haut Thoroughfare. We had lunch outside the Island Store. We returned to Steves Island the same route. The round trip was close to 5 hours with windy and choppy seas.
· Day3’s 6 mile paddle passed the George Head island sandbar in a whoop-de-doo surfing wave. We visited Crotch Island which was once a world renowned granite quarry. We went up the “crotch” past hills of waste chunks of granite. We saw osprey and eagles. We continued along the shoreline of the town of Stonington with its many wharfs of commercial lobster and fishing operations.

Little Cranberry Lobster
Lobstermen on Little Cranberry Island know a thing or two about working together to make a living on the coast of Maine: they've had a fishermen's co-operative set up on the island since 1978. Now, they're taking it a step further as they begin to enter the wholesale lobster meat market.
Searching for artifacts from the Battle of Stonington
Researchers from the University of Rhode Island, in conjunction with the Stonington Historical Society, are conducting a preliminary survey of the ocean floor in the shallow water just off Stonington Borough to look for artifacts from the Battle of Stonington during the War of 1812.

Diversifying Maine's Fishing Economy
For several generations, a small family owned wharf in the fishing village of Tenants Harbor, Maine, has grown and expanded, driving economic activity and spurring innovation. What once was a tidal facility fished by only a few family members is now a robust commercial fishing wharf, protected by the Working Waterfront Access Program, with all tide access, 4 hoists and an innovative vertically integrated fisherman’s co-op. Landings have nearly doubled in recent years, and the fishermen at the Tenants Harbor Fisherman’s Co-op are beginning to expand into aquaculture. CEI has been there for over a decade, providing financing for the expanded wharf operations and guidance on the working waterfront program.
