Reports On Launch Of Lobster Habitat Mooring
Several news outlets were on hand last week in Rockport Harbor for the launch of a lobster habitat mooring, which is a project involving the UMaine-based Lobster Institute and UMaine’s School of Aquaculture. A story on the Village Soup website, which covers midcoast Maine, mentioned UMaine’s involvement, including the work that graduate student Chris Roy is doing to monitor a similar structure in Seal Harbor on Mount Desert Island. New England Cable Network covered the deployment and interviewed Bob Bayer, executive director of the Lobster Institute. Bangor television station WABI also had a story about the moorings.
