West Boothbay Harbor – The Maine State Aquarium, located on the McKown Point Road in West Boothbay Harbor, is set to open its doors on June 11.

The Aquarium, a program of the Department of Marine Resources, re-opened last year after undergoing renovations to upgrade the interior with new exhibits and displays. “Last year’s grand reopening was a huge hit with over 26,000 visitors, and this year we have more to debut,” said Education Division Director Dottie Yunger.

Milbridge – The Maine Marine Patrol will continue to search today for Alton Wallace, 51 of Milbridge, who was reported missing last Sunday afternoon by a family member after failing to return from harvesting clams.

The search for Mr. Wallace began Sunday at approximately 3:15 pm and has continued each day, focusing on the area near Fickett Point at the mouth of the Narraguagus River. Responders were able to use Mr. Wallace’s last cell phone ping, which occurred Sunday at approximately 7:30 am, to determine a location for the search.

Augusta – As Memorial Day and the unofficial start of the summer recreational boating season draws near, the Maine Marine Patrol wants to remind recreational boaters of a law that took effect last year which is designed to encourage safety on our state’s coastal and inland waters.
