Maine Sea Grant

Morong Cove is part of an estuary with a twice-daily tidal exchange of salt water from the larger bay. The coves of inner Cobscook Bay are highly productive and varied environments – from salt marsh, mussel bars and mudflats to rocky ledges.

Broad Cove has a 200-year history of marine industry that continues today in varied forms.

This waterfront property provides important access to inner Cobscook Bay for both commercial and recreational uses. Depending on the season, look for fishermen digging clams and bait worms from the mud, or collecting periwinkles and blue mussels. In winter and early spring, both SCUBA divers and draggers harvest Atlantic sea scallops in Maine waters.
