Many fish populations globally are in decline, due to changing ecosystems, habitat loss and fishing pressure. Even New England’s famed Atlantic cod is struggling, bringing this global challenge very close to home. How can fishermen and scientists work together to save our fisheries? Can innovative solutions change the paradigm?
