Radio Report On Urchin Research

Two researchers at UMaine’s Center for Cooperative Aquaculture Research in Franklin were interviewed for a Maine Public Broadcasting Network radio story about work being done to revive the sea urchin industry in Maine. Nick Brown, the director of the center, and Steve Eddy, a station biologist, are examining the economic viability of farm-grown urchins on the market in countries such as Japan, where urchins are considered a delicacy.
