Description:

Records span the years 1980 through 1994. Files contain case and project logs, corresponendence with business and government agencies, reports, newsletters, memos, and press clippings. Major issues include establishment of the Sears Island Cargo Port, the progress of marine industries (such as aquaculture, marine colloids, and fishing), projects handled by Coastal Enterprises, Inc. (especially job opportunities for low-income individuals, housing and urban development projects, and the Portland fishing industry), and Unity College, its progress and fundraising. The proposal of a new cargo port on Sears Island enjoyed support from the Environmental Protection Agency, but was opposed by environmental interest organizations such as the Sierra Club.

Long-term field office representatives were Tom Bertocci and Jeanne Hollingsworth.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
