Rockland's Harbormaster - The view from December '08

On December 10th, WRFR community radio reporter Ron Huber visits the waterfront office of the Rockland Harbormaster. Ed Glaser is Rockland's current, and many say, most conservation-minded Harbormaster. They discuss his oversight of a busy five miles of very diverse waterfronts, each "working" at its own pace. From ferries visiting three islands, to marinas, shipyards, two coast guard facilities, two herring fleets, windjamming schooners and private landowners. In the harbor waters, dozens of lobstermen feed and livetrap and release thousands of lobsters that crawl into Rockland harbor each year. Meanwhile there are abandoned and derelict boats, moorings to be licensed, upcoming civic harbor events and lots more keeping Ed busy. Listen and learn. Photo courtesy Bates College
