How Has Living In Maine Changed? Maine has changed A LOT over the past decade!

The Gulf of Maine is warming faster than 99% of the ocean.  In this episode of In Hot Water, Maine, we meet with Plansowes Dana, a member of the Passamaquoddy Tribe and the Indigenous Communities Partnership Manager at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute. Her goal is to build relationships between the Wabanaki communities and GMRI to incorporate Indigenous knowledge with Western science. There's no quick fix for seafood harvesters in the Gulf, but climate solutions do exist. From encouraging species diversification to actively involving frontline communities, changemakers are leading a new path for seafood in Maine Produced by Seafood and Gender Equality (SAGE) and Seaworthy, the “In Hot Water” podcast explores SEAFOOD and CLIMATE JUSTICE in distinct regions.

In this episode, Michael speaks with Dan Holland. Dan is a senior scientist at the Northwest Fisheries Science Center within the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA.  Dan joined the Northwest Fisheries Science Center in 2010. Prior to that he held positions with the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the New Zealand Seafood Industry Council, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and the Alaska Fisheries Science Center. He is an affiliate professor at the University of Washington, Chair of the Science and Statistical Committee of the Pacific Fishery Management Council, an associate editor of Marine Resource Economics, and is a former President of the International Institute for Fisheries Economics and Trade (IIFET). Michael and Dan talked about several aspects of Dan's research, which is focused primarily on design and evaluation of fishery management tools and strategies. In particular, they discussed Dan's research related to catch share policy, which involves placing a cap on the total allowable catch (TAC) for a species and a distributing a tradeable quota that is allocated to a group of fishers in proportion to this cap. These policies have been both quite popular and controversial, and Dan's research can help us think about the mechanics of some of the most critical issues involved, including how to balance the costs and benefits of individual vs. collective fishing rights, options for limiting bycatch and dealing with choke species via quota pooling, and how to these relate to the idea of ecosystem management.

In this week's episode w,e are going to talk about the historic working waterfront in Portland Maine. When we talk about the waterfront in Portland Maine, we are referring to the area down at the bottom of Commercial street and all the wharves that are home to some amazing businesses. If you are in the area make sure to check out the Casco Bay Lines. You can take the mail run and cruise around all the islands in Casco Bay, stop into Becky's Diner for a meal, or take a diving class at Aquadiving Academy. Also located on the waterfront is the U.S. Coast Guard, so if you are walking by at the right time you may see a cool ship! The fishing industry is a major part of Maine's economy. Down at the waterfront, you can stop at the harbor fish market, and check out the amazing fishermen who are the backbone of Maine. Situated down on the waterfront are some fantastic restaurants including Jay's Oyster House, and the famous floating restaurant Dimillo's is docked off the wharves. The Gulf of Maine Research Institute which works to protect Maines's ecosystems is also located at the waterfront! If you want to charter a boat, there are a bunch of options in the area. Right next to the Portland Oceangateway is the Maine State Pier where you can check out the view or even a concert! Make sure to check out the Walk the Working Waterfront event next year and remember if you Make Maine Your Home, you don't have to do it alone!    View the blog post on my website...    To checkout listings all over southern Maine visit: https://www.makemaineyourhome.realestate/  Check out our Facebook: www.Facebook.com/MakeMaineYourHome  You can listen to the audio podcast on any podcast app.  Just search for Make Maine Your Home.

Producer/Host: Natalie Springuel Coastal Conversations: Conversations with people who live, work, and play on the Maine coast, hosted by the University of Maine Sea Grant Program. This episode: Most fishermen will tell you that the presence of Atlantic menhaden on the coast of Maine is cyclical. In the last few years, menhaden, or pogies as the small schooling fish are known locally, have returned in high enough numbers to trigger a commercial fishery that holds promise for many fishermen. Their presence is fortuitous. Pogies have filled a lobster bait void left behind by declining Atlantic herring stocks. Many lobstermen, scrambling for bait to feed their lobster traps, have settled on pogies. There are many others in the Gulf of Maine who are happy to see the pogies return in great numbers – chief among them: the predators like tuna, striped bass, bald eagles and even humpback whales. On our show today, we explore the world of pogies, the fishermen who harvest them and the species like tuna who eat them. We talk with two fishermen who describe how the fish are caught and why the fishery is increasingly important to Maine fishermen. And we’ll hear from a scientist about how his research on Atlantic Blue-fin tuna also reveals the increasing presence of pogies in Maine waters. -Return of Pogies (AKA Menhaden) to Maine -Fishermen's stories about rigging up to purse seining for pogies. -Pogies as lobster bait -Pogies role in the Gulf of Maine food web Guests: Devyn Campbell, Boothbay Harbor fisherman (fishes for groundfish and in recent years pogies) Dave Horner, Southwest Harbor fisherman (has fished for lobster, scallop, shrimp, groundfish and in recent years pogies) Walt Golet, Assistant Professor at the University of Maine’s School of Marine Sciences and lead of the Pelagic Fisheries lab at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute. About the host: Natalie Springuel has hosted Coastal Conversation's since 2015, with support from the University of Maine Sea Grant where she has served as a marine extension associate for 20 years. In 2019, Springuel received an award for Public Affairs programming from the Maine Association of Broadcasters for the Coastal Conversations show called “Portland's Working Waterfront.” Springuel is passionate about translating science, sharing stories, and offering a platform for multiple voices to weigh in on complex coastal and ocean issues. She has recently enrolled in audio production training at Maine Media Workshop to dive deeper into making great community radio.

Producer/Host: Natalie Springuel Happy New Year from our team at Coastal Conversations where we are launching season 8 of our show! For our first show of 2022, we are once again teaming up with The First Coast and the Island Institute to feature the final episode in our series about innovative people in Maine who are sustainably harvesting and growing products from the sea. First up, we're talking about Maine's groundfish fishery, past and present, and the potential that exists, for both fishermen and consumers, to support a diverse local marketplace and help support our fisheries. Then, to wrap up our series, we learn about the mysterious, internationally regulated, strong, and powerful Atlantic Bluefin Tuna, a fishery that leaves a lot of consumers puzzled. Listen up as we untangle these fishing stories and meet some of Maine's leaders in the seafood marketplace, on the waterfront and at sea. These stories were produced by Galen Koch of The First Coast as part of an Island Institute podcast called “From the Sea Up.” The podcast is made possible by the Fund for Maine Islands and a partnership between the Island Institute, College of the Atlantic, Luke's Lobster, Maine Sea Grant and the First Coast.

Have you ever explored the ocean floor? Many of us –even longtime coastal dwellers—have had little experience with the creatures who roam the depths of the sea.  Today we speak with Mary Cerullo, Associate Director of Friends of Casco Bay, and Gulf of Maine Research Institute chief education officer, Leigh Peake, about Maine waters, and how humans can better coexist with their water bound neighbors. https://www.themainemag.com/radio/2015/12/under-the-sea-222/
