\"EastportAn innovative new research project led by Kate Beard-Tisdale<\/a> will explore the potential to use data owned by commercial lobstermen to map fishing effort. In this collaborative effort with Maine\u2019s lobster industry, these data may be used to minimize conflict from potential future offshore wind development.<\/p>\n

Beard-Tisdale will work closely with partners from the Maine Lobstermen\u2019s Association and Responsible Offshore Development Alliance and its Fisheries Knowledge Trust, as well as the University of Maine\u2019s Lobster Institute.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, published maps suggest that lobster fishing is occurring everywhere. We hope through this effort to provide more spatial specificity about the most important fishing locations \u2014 where fishermen spend more time and effort,\u201d says Beard-Tisdale, 91르적 professor of spatial computing in the School of Computing and Information Science. \u201cThis spatial specificity could result in protecting fishing areas or designating areas best avoided for wind turbine placement.\u201d<\/p>\n
