Significant program services not listed on prior year return Part III line 2 THE GROUNDFISH FLEET IN MAINE HAS SEEN DECLINING VALUE FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS. AFTER THE ONSET OF COVID-19, OVER A 5-YEAR AVERAGE, THE VALUE OF LANDED GROUNDFISH IN MAINE DROPPED AN ASTONISHING 73%. A LARGE DRIVER FOR THE DECLINE IS THE HIGH PERCENTAGE OF FISH NOT BEING SOLD, RESULTING IN FISHERMEN LANDING FISH WHICH WAS GOING UNSOLD. THIS CAUSED MANY FISHERMEN TO STOP FISHING DESPITE NEEDING MONEY TO SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES. FOOD INSECURITY WAS ALSO ON THE RISE. MCFA BUILT THE FISHERMEN FEEDING MAINERS PROGRAM TO PROVIDE DIRECT FINANCIAL RELIEF TO FISHERMEN, AND TO HELP SUPPLY FOOD TO SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IN NEED WITH HEALTHY MAINE SEAFOOD MEALS.
