LD1595

An Act to Strengthen Working Waterfronts Against Nuisance Complaints Regarding Aquaculture

Complete·6/3/25

Maine LD1595 strengthens protections against nuisance complaints for aquaculture activities.

Maine LD1595 amends the law to expand the definition of "commercial fishing activity" to include activities associated with aquaculture. This change protects individuals and businesses involved in aquaculture from private nuisance actions. Aquaculture activities now covered include the manufacture or sale of ice, bait, traps, cages, or nets, and the manufacture or sale of equipment commonly used in aquaculture operations.
