The City of Milford in Connecticut is home to the Milford Harbor Master, a regulatory agency responsible for managing the growth and development in and around the harbor area and Milford waters. They work in conjunction with the Planning and Zoning Board to enforce zoning ordinances and review upland development proposals to ensure consistency with state coastal management requirements. The Harbor Management Commission, appointed by the Mayor, is dedicated to evaluating existing regulatory programs, protecting natural resources, providing waterfront facilities and services, and encouraging water-dependent enterprises.
Their jurisdiction includes the municipal boat ramp and dockage, the Maritime Park and Milford Lisman Landing Marina, as well as moorings and the East Side of the Housatonic River adjacent to Milford waters. They offer a public boat launch facility, a city dock for short-term tie-ups and fishing, and a transient marina for both local and visiting vessels. With approximately 130 moorings available in Milford Harbor and 70 on the East Side of the Housatonic River, the Harbor Master plays a crucial role in managing and maintaining the waterfront resources of Milford.
