Lubec Shellfish Committee plans to rotate clam flat closures on either side of Woodward Point

MAINE MONITOR • March 10, 2026

The Lubec Shellfish Committee met Monday to discuss the proposed Woodward Point rotational closure, ongoing efforts to address septic contamination in town and several permitting issues, including whether to “grandfather in” out‑of‑town permitholders. There was also an update on the town’s clam seeding program, which is scheduled to launch in spring of next year. With more harvesters attending than at any meeting so far this year, the committee announced plans to begin the Woodward Point rotating clam flat closure later this year.
