Keeping Portland Harbor Moving
from Let's Connect Hosted by WMPG
Portland Harbor’s working waterfront is one of the region’s most important economic and cultural assets—but much of the work that keeps it operating happens out of public view. Host Belinda Ray speaks with Captain Calvin Klopp, president of Portland Pilots; Chelsea Pettengill, Executive Director of the Maine Port Authority; and Heather Moretti, Waterfront Coordinator for the City of Portland. They discuss how ships are safely guided through the harbor, the growth and operation of the International Marine Terminal, the City’s efforts to balance marine industries with public access and development, and the challenges and opportunities facing the waterfront—from aging infrastructure and changing industries to climate change and sea-level rise.
