The Ellsworth American highlighted a collaborative project from the University of Maine and University of Maine at Machias that is aiming to raise awareness of issues faced by the softshell clam industry and trigger action. Led by Brian Beal, professor of marine ecology at UMaine Machias, and Georgios Boumis, assistant professor of coastal engineering and infrastructure resilience at UMaine, the project will create an interactive and publicly accessible web platform. Once finished, it will hold and visualize long-term recruitment data for soft-shell clams and green crabs from 12 Maine coastal communities dating back to 2020.
