Seascale

08/05/2026

Thank you, Mainebiz , for including Seascale in your deep dive into aquaculture and Maine’s marine economy.

It is an honor to be featured alongside such innovative organizations as Springtide Seaweed, LLC, Salmonics LLC, S**o Bay Sea Farms, The Kingfish Company, and Atlantic BlueBio.

We are incredibly lucky to be building Seascale within such a rich and supportive entrepreneurial environment here in Maine. The collaboration, creativity, and willingness to try new approaches across our state continue to push the marine economy forward.

And just for fun, we dug up the original doodle and bullet list that inspired us to begin this journey. It is incredible to see how much has changed, but even more impressive to see how closely our current production gear still aligns with that first design document.

Sometimes the first sketch really does contain the heart of the idea.

Being quiet on social media normally means we are building, loading, hauling, and delivering. Spring was busy!

Wave if you see a truck full of Maine Scallop Pots or Maine Urchin Pots rolling by. Gear is moving, being deployed, and the summer season is well underway.

Keep Hauling. Start Growing.

Keep Hauling, Start Growing!

Join Jon and Charlie from Seascale as they demonstrate how their Maine Scallop Pot and Maine Urchin pot work.

Seascale’s mission is to provide high-quality, easy-to-integrate aquaculture gear that helps lobstermen add new revenue streams without changing the way they fish.

Plenty of parking behind the building. Lunch will be provided and registration is not required.

With this many incredible organizations all in one room, it’s a great chance to explore innovative ways to diversify your fishing business or start a new venture.

We're excited to connect alongside Sunrise County Economic Council, Maine Aquaculture, Gulf of Maine Research Institute, Maine Aquaculture Association, Downeast Institute, and Sol Mariculture.

Northeast Aquaculture Conference and Expo: Productive, energizing, and a full of momentum.

Seascale exhibited at the expo, connected with farms and partners from across the region, and it was a highlight to hear multiple customers and partners reference our gear in their presentations.

Charlie presented: “Adapting Fishing Technology, Workflow, and Policy to the Development of Emerging Aquaculture Species.”

Maine aquaculture is growing fast, especially the interest in scallops and urchins. Great timing for us to show off the Maine Urchin Pot!

Congratulations to Maine Aquaculture for a fantastic job hosting! And a huge thank you Seth White of Sol Mariculture , Michael Scannell of S**o Bay Sea Farms , Stephen Eddy of University of Maine, and Mike Coogan of University of New HampshireUniversity of New Hampshire for the shout outs!

Celebrating our first year of Seascale gear headed up and down the coast.

We can't wait to see Maine Scallop Pots and Maine Urchin Pots rolling out to more boats, more wharves, more crews.

We are taking orders now for the next production run. Looking for new opportunities for your boat or farm this spring?

Lets talk!

Cabin Fever is real, so come talk scallops with us at Herring Gut Coastal Science Center in Port Clyde on December 4, 6:00 to 7:30 pm.

We will share how we are working to open new doors for fishermen and coastal communities, and how the Maine Scallop Pot uses familiar lobster gear to make scallop farming work at boat scale.

Join us as part of Herring Gut’s Cabin Fever Series to dig into the gear, the industry, and where this could go next.

Attend in person at 59 Factory Road, Port Clyde, or join via Zoom.

Six months, deep-water offshore, no tending.

Independent University of New Hampshire trials led by Mike Coogan delivered great growth, great survival, and no fouling.

This is how Seascale is rewriting scallop-farming economics: Fishermen friendly gear built for the boats already on the water. Less labor. More yield. Stronger working waterfronts.

Thanks Mike and the UNH team, we cant wait for the next update in the spring!

We loved jumping into a true cross-Atlantic blue-economy conversation in Portland. Huge thanks to the British Consulate General in Boston, National Caucus of Environmental Legislators, and Gulf of Maine Research Institute for hosting a lively, hopeful session.

Seascale’s takeaway is simple: Our working waterfront and fishing fleet is Maine’s competitive edge. When practical gear meets clear policy, innovation accelerates. That’s the path we’re charting with the Maine Scallop Pot™, putting working boats at the front of the blue economy.

They grow up so fast.

Our scallop spat you provided are doing fantastic, 1,000 strong and growing fast in our Maine Scallop Pots at University of Maine Darling Marine Center

These little guys were smaller than your pinky nail just three months ago!

Big thanks to Downeast Institute and Maine Aquaculture Innovation Center for the support!
