Maine DMR Scallop Advisory Council

FINAL DATE for Reopening Plan

Due to the short timeframe that remains for a reopening plan to be developed, the next SAC meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 7, 2:00pm Maine DOT Complex at 219 Hogan Road, Bangor

There is a blue conference room building on the complex that we will meet in. I would encourage all those interested in the 2012/13 scallop season to attend as a final reopening plan will be developed at this meeting, and your input is encouraged.
