East Resource Center
(PERC) was founded on the principle that the only way the
resources of the
oceans can be protected and sustained is through joint
stakeholder stewardship:
collective action of fishermen and their communities, supported
by science and
working in combination with regulatory authorities at all
levels. PERC’s
fundamental mission is to support, develop and carry out such
strategies, with
the overriding goal of securing a sustainable future for
fisheries and fishing
communities of coastal Maine. By doing so PERC also intends to
create models
that may be adapted for use by others across the nation and the
globe. </p>
