Perio Point Shellfish, Beals Island
Carver Enterprises applied for funds to secure permanent commercial fishing access to the property associated with Perio Point Shellfish located in the town of Beals (Washington County) on Moosabec Reach. This 1.8 acre property includes 2 tidal lobster pounds and regularly serves 75-100 boats that land lobsters, crabs, scallops, worms, urchins, cucumbers and quahogs harvested in the region. The property also includes wharves, service buildings, and related working space and facilities. Purchase of the covenant assures that this property will continue to be operated and available for the many fishermen in the Jonesport-Beals area. Carver Enterprises was granted an allocation of $261,250.00 from the Land for Maine’s Future Board to purchase a covenant on the property.
