Maine fishing piers still rebuilding from last winter’s storms

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • December 23, 2024

As Maine settles into another winter, some fishing pier owners have not fully rebuilt from the heavy storm damage they suffered during a pair of storms last January — and they’re concerned about what the coming months might bring. The heavy surf and storm surge that slammed into Maine on Jan. 10 and 13 pulled apart dozens of docks from Eastport to Kittery. Commercial fishing piers, private docks, marinas and waterfront restaurants all suffered from the destructive power of the waves.
