"This document presents an overview of Maine's marine fisheries system and the state's policy framework which interacts with it. We have attempted to present the essence of the physical habitat which contains the resource, the main biological features of the resource and the economic characteristics of the fisheries ... We have also incorporated the laws and regulations that exist for each habitat and resource component. Finally, we have identified state policies where clear policy exists."--Leaves 1-2.
