Conservation gift protects Frenchman Bay clamming ground

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • May 19, 2023

A Hancock County land conservation group has acquired two shorefront properties in the east side of Frenchman Bay to help preserve shore access to harvesters who dig for clams and worms. The property was donated to Frenchman Bay Conservancy by a couple that owns property on Jones Cove in Gouldsboro in order to permanently protect harvester access to the cove. The conservancy also recently acquired another property on Long Cove in Sullivan, which it plans to offer to the town of Sullivan when the town holds its annual meeting on June 26.
