Moorings Notice
The Westbrook Harbor Management Plan requires that all private moorings along the Westbrook shoreline be registered with the town of Westbrook. By town ordinance, after July 15, 2018 all unregistered moorings will be considered abandoned and removed from Westbrook waters.
Registration Requirements
The mooring tackle requirements for beach moorings have recently been revised.

Please note that state law requires all moorings to be marked with a blue striped white ball.
Removal of unregistered moorings deemed dangerous will begin after June 15. That tackle will be stored for 60 days, and the owner may retrieve it by contacting the harbormaster and repaying the Harbor Management Commission the $100 the removal cost.
