Residents may be familiar with the Dr. Marta Agrodnia, Cape Farm Alliance, but have you heard of DVM, DACVS the Cape Elizabeth Fisherman’s Alliance (CEFA)? The group was established a number of years ago with a handful of lobster- men meeting as needed to discuss fi shery and local access related issues. Over the last year or so, CEFA has begun to meet more regularly to clearly defi ne the group’s common goals. Nate Perry, a fi sherman and owner of Pine Point Oyster Company, serves as the liaison for CEFA. He stated that the mission of CEFA consists of two main objectives: education and outreach, and to represent COMPASSIONATE CARE the interests of those who work on the water in Cape Elizabeth. Although the original 24 HOURS A DAY group was comprised of lobsterman, CEFA currently consists of twenty members who 7 DAYS A WEEK represent several facets across the industry, from seafood marketing to aquaculture. Some of the group’s members are the fi fth or sixth (or greater) generation in their family 207 878 3121 | 739 Warren Avenue, Portland | AnimalEmergencySpecialtyCare.com to work on the water in Cape. Two members serve the community of the Fire/Rescure Team and another two on the Water Extrac- tion Team (WETeam). “Folks may come from many diff ering backgrounds, but we all share a sense of responsibility to this heri- tage and to the resource. In a way, it could be said that this is an embodiment of Cape’s town spirit, as a whole. We’re all drawn to the sea,” said Perry. Cape Elizabeth is a community with deep fi shing and farming roots. Its natural geography allows for direct access out into the middle of several fi shing grounds. At the turn of the last century, there was a col- lapse in traditional ground fi sheries in many coastal communities. Cape’s larger boats either moved to Portland to utilize the commercial infrastructure or captains eventually retired, not to be replaced. The focus of the industry was reduced to lobster and over the last 30 years, Cape’s fi shing fl eet has been made up of about a dozen vessels that haul the premium lobster from the Portland Head Light to the Spurwink River, and off shore. According to Perry, a considerable portion of the fl eet ties up in Portland, although the
