Habitat-Based Predictions of Bridle Shiner (<i>Notropis bifrenatus</i>) in the Northeastern United States. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe sought to assess bridle shiner (Notropis bifrenatus) habitat associations at local and regional scales across southern Maine and New Hampshire. We used local habitat data at 95 Maine sites to predict occupancy with classification and regression trees (

Options for Managing Maine�s Fisheries: Traditional Fisheries Management
Maine Policy Review, 1996 Ralph Townsend discusses the historic evolution of fisheries management as well as more current trends toward co-management in Maine’s groundfisheries. Looking at successful experiences with co-management, he wonders whether current efforts in Maine’s lobster industry will be successful without tackling the tough issue of access limitation.

FACETS, 2022 The degree to which human actions affect marine fisheries has been a fundamental question shaping people’s relationship with the sea. Today, divergences in stakeholder views about the impacts of human activities such as fishing, climate change, pollution, and resource management can hinder effective co-management and adaptation.

Lessons for the Future from 50 Years of Maine Fisheries
Maine Policy Review, 2023 Fifty years of technological advances in fishing and the differing consequences of state and federal scientific and regulatory methods are examined to discern lessons for the future of Maine’s fisheries. This examination suggests that Maine’s fishery management is consistent with the governance approach recommended from study of social-ecological ...

Options for Managing Maine�s Fisheries: Fisheries Management from an Ecological Perspective
Maine Policy Review, 1996 Jim Wilson counters the concerns raised by Ralph Townsend [this issue].The current policy course set by Marine Resources Commissioner Robin Alden is based on an approach to fisheries management which redefines the sustainability problem as an ecosystem problem. Wilson argues that, within this new paradigm, questions such as “how, when, and where†to

Weak feedbacks, governance mismatches, and the robustness of social-ecological systems: an analysis of the Southwest Nova Scotia lobster fishery with comparison to Maine [PDF]
Ecology and Society, 2014 The insights in Governing the Commons have provided foundational ideas for commons research in the past 23 years. However, the cases that Elinor Ostrom analyzed have been exposed to new social, economic, and ecological disturbances.

Integrating small mammal personality and population abundance into forest regeneration predictions for a managed, mixed species forest in Maine, USA. [PDF]
Sci RepUnderstanding forest regeneration is critical for predicting the future of forests, but most forest growth models overlook the animals responsible for driving regeneration dynamics. Scatter-hoarding small mammals are critical for the regeneration of many

Use of herring bait to farm lobsters in the Gulf of Maine. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Ecologists, fisheries scientists, and coastal managers have all called for an ecosystem approach to fisheries management, yet many species such as the American lobster (Homarus americanus) are still largely managed individually.
