Media highlight research from Darling Marine Center
Maine Public, Portland Press Herald and News Center Maine highlighted research from the University of Maine Darling Marine Center on local shellfish harvesting trends along the Damariscotta and Medomak River estuaries led by graduate student Sarah Risley. “As researchers, we can only be out in the field for a couple months out of the year. We talked to harvesters who spend 365 days a year on the mud flats, sometimes two tides a day,” Risley said. “Ultimately, they are the experts on the ecosystem.”
