Join us for vital community conversations to enhance our response, preparedness, and resilience in the face of increasing storm events.

Ten community convenings are happening this fall and early winter throughout Maine coastal and working waterfront communities to explore how we can better respond to and prepare for future storms like the ones that hit us last January. Each convening is being organized collaboratively with local leaders and contacts, and we are grateful for their help! To see the full list, go to:

The goals of this effort are to:

Create space for community members across diverse sectors to take stock of their working waterfronts within the context of the community’s resilience since the storms.
Share resilience and working waterfront planning work across the region: recent, underway, or planned.
Learn about resources for public and private working waterfront resilience.
Identify systems and networks that would be useful to have in place locally to support working waterfronts in anticipation of future storms.

Snacks will be provided!

Maine Sea Grant, working in partnership with Maine Coastal Program, Island Institute and UMaine MARINE, has received funding from the National Sea Grant office to plan these convenings in response to the January 2024 storms.
