In the wake of 2021, a year of historically high value for Maine’s commercially harvested marine resources, harvesters last year earned $574,049,682, an amount that is more in line with recent history, according to preliminary data released from the Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR).
While the overall value represents a 37 percent drop compared to 2021, it is still consistent with the average value of all Maine commercially harvested marine resources between 2011 and 2020, which was $586,620,579.
