Building a Canadian-American Research Network to Support Small-Scale Fisheries and Community-Based Seafood Systems

Assistant Professor of Marine Policy, Joshua Stoll, of the School of Marine Sciences at the University of Maine received funding from the Canadian American Center to participate in the Local Catch Network’s 4th Local Seafood Summit in Girdwood, Alaska. Their forum “Building a Canadian-American Research Network to Support Small-Scale Fisheries and Community-Based Seafood Systems” was one of many sessions that focused on strengthening community-based seafood systems at the local, regional and national scales, as well as building on the American-Canadian research networks. The summit was a major success as 170 people across the United States, Canada as well as multiple tribal nations were in attendance.
