Show Notes
The Ocean Provider, a boat operated by a Cooke Aquaculture subcontractor, collided with Lubec, Maines commercial pier on February 10th, causing $40,000 in damages. The incident was initially not reported to the Coast Guard due to the harbormasters belief that the damage was below the $75,000 threshold for investigation. However, the Coast Guard rules require immediate reporting of such collisions. The harbormasters decision not to report the incident has raised concerns about harbor safety and potential liability issues. The Select Board is now considering installing cameras at more waterfront spots to improve safety and monitor future incidents.
