Harbor Management

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 are currently being revised. Please contact Harbormaster Harry Plaut at (860) 982-7555 for requirements specific to each mooring. Also please note that state law requires all moorings to be marked with a blue striped white ball. Finally, 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 HMC the $100 the removal cost.
