After Last Year’s Poor Harvest, Mainers Work To Help Clam Fisheries Bounce Back
This Maine Public article discusses the collaborative work Mitchell Center researchers are conducting with clam harvesters, state and local officials, and conservationists to help Maine’s clam fishery bounce back.
The article includes comments from the Mitchell Center’s Bridie McGreavey, a leader in a multi-town, multi-stakeholder shellfish resilience project that has awarded grants to 14 coastal municipalities. The initiative, financed by the Broadreach Fund at Maine Community Foundation, aims to better document and protect clam and mussel populations in Maine.
