Lobsters Great and Small How Scientists and Fishermen Are Changing Our Understanding of a Maine Icon

This is a story about cooperation and collaboration in the Maine lobster fishery. Between 1996 and 2001 over 150 fishermen joined with a dozen different scientists from five research institutions, three non-profits, three state agencies and a federal organization to investigate the health and future of the lobster resource. Their collaboration is a model for how complex and contentious fishery problems can be understood and resolved at a time when fisheries resources are threatened in all oceans of the globe.
