An Evaluation of the Georges River Shellfish Managment Committee: an Enduring Co-management Experience

S.A. Ebbin and R.S. Pomeroy
In 1996, shellfish harvesters, municipal selectman and other stakeholders from five towns in the mid-coast of Maine formed the Georges River Shellfish Management Program. The resulting Shellfish Committee and Joint Board of Selectmen have managed the soft-shell clam fishery for over ten years. We initiated a research project to evaluate the effectiveness of this cooperative initiative. We found a general consensus that the Shellfish Committee has performed its management functions well and that management has improved compared to prior efforts.  This research report may serve as a model for other communities.  21 pp.  Electronic copy only.  Available for free download as PDF.  DOWNLOAD  (644 KB)

Lobster Fact Sheets

What’s Happening to the Lobsters in Long Island Sound?
M. Van Patten and R. French
In 1999, massive mortalities occurred in Long Island Sound lobsters, decimating the population and hurting the lobster industry. A mysterious pathogen, Paramoeba, was discovered by UCONN pathobiologists. The paramoeba caused lobsters from western parts of the Sound to become lethargic and quickly die. Meanwhile, shell disease was affecting lobsters in the eastern Sound. The big question is, could the paramoeba alone have caused the massive die-off, or were the infected lobsters already weakened by other causes? This fact sheet can serve as a "primer", describing various types of lobster diseases known. Illustrated, with color photos. 1-page, double-sided. Published in 1999. Click here for PDF

Frequently Asked Questions about lobsters in Long Island Sound.
