Reporting from Maine Fishermen's Forum 2018

Resiliency in the Lobster Fishery, Mistaken Case of Science vs. Fishing Industry & Right Whale Entanglements This is a special episode of Beyond Data reporting on the 2018 Maine Fishermen's Forum . In this episode, we hear from Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR) Commissioner Patrick Keliher on resiliency in the State's most valuable fishery. We also explore a case of mistaken science versus fishing industry, and we touch on the single biggest issue facing Maine's working waterfronts over the next few years: right whale entanglements.
