We hereby petition the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to reject the City of Gloucester's proposed ...

We hereby petition the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to reject the City's Harbor Plan as submitted and to stand firm in protecting the working port of Gloucester, including a rebuilding of the fishing industry and other ocean trades.

For further information on the proposed plan: www.voiceoftheport.org

To read the entire Harbor Plan ~ http://www.env.state.ma.us/mepa/mepadocs/2014/091014em/pn/8.pdf

Why is this important?

Gloucester's proposed new Harbor Plan would allow for hotels, restaurants, shops and galleries to proliferate and would reduce the area of the industrial working waterfront by over 50%. The City's proposal would violate state regulations and decades of practice in the state's designated ports. Please sign and share by October 9, 2014. Thank you.
