Observations, perceptions and concerns of the American lobster industry regarding the range-expansion of Black Sea Bass
The power of place: The role of place attachment in the offshore wind debate in the Gulf of Maine
The momentum to develop offshore wind has built across the globe in recent years. In the United States, previous federal climate goals prioritized decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and offshore wind was identified as a key technology in the clean energy transition. The state of Maine has proposed two projects to test floating turbine technology and research the ecological, economic, and social impacts of offshore wind development. Commercial…
Forgotten whales, fading codfish: Perceptions of ‘natural’ ecosystems inform visions of future recovery
Perceptions of past ecological change affect views of current ecosystem state, but how do baselines help to shape stakeholders' visions of an idealized future? Here, we investigate links between perceptions of natural baselines and visions for the nearshore Gulf of Maine among a key stakeholder group, active lobster fishers. We ask three related questions: (1) What do fishers perceive as a ‘natural’ Gulf of Maine? (2) How do perceptions of the pa…
Transitions from wild-caught fisheries to shellfish and seaweed aquaculture increase gender equity in Maine
Climate impacts on the Gulf of Maine ecosystem
The Gulf of Maine has recently experienced its warmest 5-year period (2015–2020) in the instrumental record. This warming was associated with a decline in the signature subarctic zooplankton species, Calanus finmarchicus. The temperature changes have also led to impacts on commercial species such as Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and American lobster (Homarus americanus) and protected species including Atlantic puffins (Fratercula arctica) and north…
Views from the dock: Warming waters, adaptation, and the future of Maine’s lobster fishery
Social benefits of restoring historical ecosystems and fisheries: Alewives in Maine
McClenachan, L., S. Lovell, and C. Keaveney. 2015. Social benefits of restoring historical ecosystems and fisheries: alewives in Maine. Ecology and Society 20(2): 31. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-07585-200231
Marine Historical Ecology in Conservation
This edited volume offers a blueprint for using marine historical ecology to confront the challenges of ocean conservation in a rapidly changing world. Marine historical ecology developed out of the growing realization that societies have altered marine ecosystems for millennia. As this interdisciplinary field has deepened our understanding of oceans past, so too has it become increasingly relevant to conservation, management, and policy. In this…
Marine Historical Ecology in Conservation: Applying the Past to Manage for the Future
"This volume provides a blueprint for managing the challenges of ocean conservation using marine historical ecology--an area of study evolving as societies confront ocean ecosystems that are being drastically altered by human activity. Applying the practice of historical ecology developed in terrestrial environments, Marine Historical Ecology guides the creation of historical baselines for marine species and ecosystems in order to inform and impr…
Recreation and the “Right to Fish” Movement: Anglers and Ecological Degradation in the Florida Keys
Marine environmental history has exposed the nuances of long-term change in productivity, technology, and economics of commercial fisheries but, to date, has paid less attention to the relationship between environmental decline and recreational fisheries. Fishing for fun is commonly considered a low-impact pastime, and anglers are heralded as conservationists, despite evidence that recreational fishing has substantially reduced populations of vul…
Mounting Evidence for Historical Overfishing and Long-term Degradation of Caribbean Marine Ecosystems: Comment on Julio Baisre's “Setting a Baseline for Caribbean Fisheries”
The central claim of Baisre's (2010) article is that no significant ecological change occurred in the Caribbean before the middle of the twentieth century. The assumption that historical fisheries’
