Fishing Voices: Insight into the Future

Using the voices of fishermen and members of fishing communities, Fishing Voices documents eastern Maine fishing communities as they struggle to adapt and survive while preserving their proud fishing traditions. The film explores what the ocean provides to the many small towns on the coast, how to restore and sustain those ocean resources for the future, but most importantly why the culture of fishing matters so much in the first place, and why it must be preserved.

Produced for Penobscot East Resource Center, the film also explores how that organization works to secure the sustainable future of fishing and fishing communities throughout eastern Maine.
