Abstract:
The Port of New Bedford is located in the New Bedford/Fairhaven Harbor along the southern coast of Massachusetts. In addition to being the highest value fishing port in the United States, the Port also handles cargo, and several forms of recreational boating are located throughout the Harbor. In 2015, an estimated 140 million pounds of seafood landed at the Port of New Bedford. This seafood was harvested and processed by local fleet operators and processors located in New Bedford. The 40 plus processors not only processed this locally-caught seafood, but also an additional 250 million pounds of seafood from around the world. The non-seafood cargo handled at the Port totaled 280,000 tons in 2015 and included petroleum, aggregates, and imported fruit. The Harbor is also home to many recreational boating activities such as water taxis, ferries, and seven recreational marinas that moored approximately 570 recreational boats in the 2015.
