Projects
NAMA has its fingers in many pies. Follow the links below to learn more about our involvement in a variety of activities.
Collaborations
NAMA publishes this monthly release focused on collaborative research projects between fishermen and scientists in New England.
The Fleet Visioning Project
The Fleet Visioning Project is asking members of the groundfishing community and others that depend on the industry about the type of fleet they envision – its composition, capacity, and geographic distribution.
Gulf of Maine Plan
NAMA has been instrumental in the development of this unique industry-authored ecosystem management plan for the inshore waters of the Gulf of Maine.
Scallop Project
Wild scallop stock enhancement is not a new concept to the Canadians or the Japanese, but it is a relatively new idea in New England. This innovative work builds relationships between fishermen, scientists, and educators as it aims to re-build wild scallop populations.
Groundfish Lawsuit
In early 2002, five national conservation organizations filed suit against the National Marine Fisheries Service for failing to rebuild groundfish stocks in New England waters to the levels mandated by the Sustainable Fisheries Act. After much soul-searching, NAMA and its alliances intervened as plaintiffs. Read on for more detail about our critical involvement in the crafting of a remedy solution.
FleetLink
In a quest for better science, fishing vessels are being outfitted with specialized computer equipment to collect real-time oceanographic data — hydrological, biological and meteorological. NAMA Coordinating Director Craig Pendleton`s boat, the F/V Susan & Caitlyn, is one of them.
