After more than half of the respondents to a survey in Bar Harbor said the cruise ship industry is hurting the town, local officials on Tuesday said they will pursue more restrictions on the amount of cruise ship traffic the popular tourist town gets each year. What those limits will be has not been determined, but the council plans to hold a workshop on Aug. 2 to develop specific limits on the numbers of ships and passengers the town can have in a year, the ships’ size, the days of the week they can visit and where they can anchor offshore.
