Report On NOAA Fisheries Announcement

The Ellsworth American’s Fenceviewer website has a report about an announcement made this week at a meeting of the New England Fishery Management Council in Connecticut, during which the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced it will immediate begin an effort to improve collaboration between UMaine and other academic institutions in the region that conduct fisheries research, and the NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center in Woods Hole, Mass. The plan also calls for an immediate review of ongoing fisheries research to establish clear priorities for research funding during the coming fiscal year.
