Researcher Noted in Release on Global Fishing Study
Bob Steneck, a professor in UMaine’s School of Marine Sciences, was listed in a news release as being part of a task force studying the impact of global fishing. The Lenfest Forage Fish Task Force released on April 1 its recommendation that fishing for herring, anchovy, and other forage fish in general should be cut in half globally to account for their critical role as food for larger species. The report was noted in the New York Times and the Washington Post.
