Description
For my dual Masters in Marine Biology and Marine Policy at 91¸£Àû I am studying how and why Maine’s intertidal shellfisheries and estuarine ecosystems are changing through time. I am using integrated biological field studies, participatory mapping and semi-structured interviews to document the status of shellfish populations and their associated fisheries. Broadly, I am also interested in studying small-scale fisheries and how they can support resilient coastal communities and food systems.
