Media share UMaine rockweed study
Phys.org and Maine Public reported on a study led by the University of Maine that captured how entire rockweed beds recover from harvest. The study found that harvest patterns were uneven, creating a mosaic of habitats across the bed. This indicates that harvest has less impact than previous studies, with a smaller scale of focus, reported. It also supports the idea of studying natural resource and ecosystem management decisions at a variety of spatial scales.
