Where it all began · A completed initiative
Rock & Rebuild the Harbor
Our first mission — and a successful one. Thank you to everyone who supported this incredible event.
“Many men go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.”
Henry David Thoreau
Grant distribution
Every dollar is on the water
All proceeds raised from Rock & Rebuild the Harbor have now been fully distributed through a formal grant process to working waterfront businesses. Grant funds were awarded to support essential recovery needs, including infrastructure repair, equipment replacement and operational support for businesses facing uninsured or underinsured losses.
- Directly support the fishing industry and the working waterfront
- Play a critical role in their community
- Were demonstrably impacted by the January 2024 storms
- Faced uninsured or underinsured losses
Sponsors & benefactors
Local businesses, families and summer visitors underwrote the event so that proceeds could go straight to the waterfront.
Maine Strong t-shirts
Maine Strong shirts were sold in support of the rebuild. Contact us about remaining inventory.
