Mapping Ocean Stories is a collaboration between The First Coast, Maine Sea Grant, College of the Atlantic (COA), and the Island Institute. The goal of the Mapping Ocean Stories project is to find, collect, archive and share oral histories from coastal community members in Maine. The project seeks to document the voices of Maine fishermen and fishing community members so that the stories of our past are remembered and celebrated. The knowledge of fishermen and fishing community members, aggregated from oral history interviews and historical documents, can help illustrate important issues faced by these industries and the communities they call home. |
