Senator Dana Dow (R-Lincoln), Republican leader in the Maine Senate, has been appointed to serve on the Maine Legislature’s Marine Resources Committee.

The Marine Resources Committee has jurisdiction over the state’s commercial marine fisheries management, including the processing and sale of marine fish, shellfish and aquaculture.

I look forward to working with my colleagues to promote our marine industry while also taking the necessary steps to protect our natural resources for generations to come.”

Senator Dow represents District 13 which includes the municipalities and unorganized territories of Windsor, Washington, Alna, Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor, Bremen, Bristol, Damariscotta, Edgecomb, Hibberts Gore Township, Jefferson, Louds Island Township, Monhegan Island Plantation, Newcastle, Nobleboro, Somerville, South Bristol, Southport, Waldoboro, Westport Island, Whitefield and Wiscasset.
