MARION — Months after former Harbormaster Adam Murphy abruptly left the position, Marion has found its new harbormaster.
The Select Board announced Cameron Wentworth will soon assume the harbormaster position, bringing with him experience as the assistant harbormaster in Plymouth.
Following a unanimous vote Tuesday evening, May 12, by the Marion Select Board, Wentworth was selected to serve as Harbormaster pending ongoing successful contract negotiations.
Wentworth has been splitting his time between three towns, working full-time as Assistant Harbormaster in Plymouth, and part-time as a Berkley Police officer and a Carver firefighter.
He graduated from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy in 2020.
Wentworth has multiple water and police certifications that will assist him in his work. He has satisfied the Harbormaster Training Council requirements.
The Town of Marion's Harbormaster is the individual responsible for leading and safeguarding Marion’s harbor and waterways.
As the primary authority on the water, the Harbormaster serves as a trusted liaison to the boating community, marine businesses, and residents, while overseeing the enforcement of all federal, state and local maritime laws and regulations.
Working under the direction of the Chief of Police, this role partners closely with public safety agencies to ensure Marion’s harbor remains safe and well-managed throughout the region.
