The setback compounds decades of declining soft-shell clam harvests and pressure from warming waters and invasive green crabs. Data Centers: Maine voters backed local restrictions on data center projects, while Scarborough’s council unanimously approved a ban, adding to growing scrutiny of the facilities’ energy and community impacts. Transportation: Maine’s first diesel-electric hybrid ferry, a nearly $22 million vessel, is entering service on the Rockland–Vinalhaven route, carrying up to 250 passengers and 23 vehicles.
