Key motion filed in beaches case
“It’s just common sense that as beach use evolved naturally, the law’s original intent was always to be preserved --- and the original intent was to protect public uses. Nobody was playing bocce on the beach in 1647, but folks are doing that in 2023 and it is completely legal. Those lands are owned by the public.”
Court decides the case will go forward
“Today’s decision proves what every Mainer who relies on our shoreline knows to be true – Maine’s intertidal problem is far from settled,” Ford wrote in an email. “This decision gives us several options on next steps and we are weighing those options carefully. We thank the court for its diligence in addressing these issues and are eager to continue toward reclaiming the coast of Maine for all Mainers.”
