What is so special about matinicus island ?
Matinicus Island, the largest in the eight-island archipelago, is shaped like an oval approximately 2 miles (3 km) long by 1 mile (1.6 km) wide, containing about 800 acres (325 hectares).
Its the richest lobstering grounds in the world !!
The shores are rocky—the eastern shore being mostly granite—but there are two large beaches with beautiful fine graying-white sand and numerous small pebble beaches. Matinicus has some cottage rentals and one bed & breakfast. The small village has a single post office.
The ocean's bountiful waters have also been a source of strife here for as long as anyone can remember.
On a July morning, it reached the boiling point when a longtime lobsterman and his daughter drew guns on two fellow islanders. The lobsterman fired, shooting a man he had known for decades in the neck, police reported.
The shooting has shone a spotlight on a long-standing territorial system all along the ragged Maine coast that gives fishermen unofficial rights to specified waters. The rights are legally unenforceable but important and usually accepted.
Nowhere are they more strictly enforced than around Matinicus Island, home to a fleet of three dozen lobster boats whose crews have a reputation for outlaw behavior.
