2007 CBC Cobscook Fisheries Award

2007 Cobscook Fisheries Award

Leo Murray of Lubec was presented with the 2007 Cobscook Fisheries Award and a check for $200 for his leadership during the efforts to protect the Cobscook scallop resource. In announcing the award Will Hopkins said, “Dozens of people were involved in changing the laws to protect the Cobscook scallop resource, but when it was time to drive to Augusta and testify before the Legislature, it was Leo Murray who stood up and let the legislators know that Cobscook fishermen wanted to limit themselves daily so they and their kids could keep fishing for years. Leo Murray was the right person, at the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing.”

Previous Cobscook Fisheries Award recipients were Reid Wilson and George Harris, Sr.
