Since April 1st, the Lifejacket Vans have visited 43 harbors, twice, along the coast of Maine and Massachusetts. We are pleased to be able to add these additional ports in response to requests from fishermen. The additional ports are between areas already visited to increase the reach for individuals who previously missed the vans.

Equipped with 11 different models of lifejackets and buoyancy aids. Commercial lobstermen, and commercial fishermen with a lobster bycatch license are eligible to purchase these devices at the vans for a 50% discount.
