Funds can be used to purchase property dedicated entirely to aquaculture and commercial fisheries use, or for mixed use properties where the portion used to support commercial fishing business can be clearly delineated and its use secured.
There is a strong preference for projects that protect and secure the use of existing, established fishing facilities and access sites over projects that involve development of new access sites and facilities. An application to LMF requires sponsorship from the Department of Marine Resources.

Project proposals can come from private businesses engaged in and/or directly supporting commercial fishing activities and cooperatives, municipalities, non-profits, or other qualified parties for projects that will provide permanent access for use by commercial fisheries businesses.
Once proposals have been submitted, the Department of Marine Resources has the responsibility for bringing working waterfront projects to the Land for Maine’s Future Board for funding approval. 2026 WWAPP Complete Workbook (PDF) Working Waterfront Covenant Summary (DOC)
