Plymouth Harbor Management Plan

The purpose of the Plymouth Harbor Plan is to provide the Town and other stakeholders with information and resources  needed  to understand, protect, and enhance the harbor’s economic,cultural, and natural resources within the context of relevant laws, policies, and regulations. 

Through the goals, objectives, and recommendations, the plan seeks to respect the public’s rights in intertidal areas and lands lying seaward of the low water mark, as afforded by the Public Trust Doctrine, and embraces the spirit of the Colonial ordinance throughout the planning area, enhancing access where possible and taking measures to protect and preserve the resources held in trust for all.
