Climate change is impacting Maine fisheries. How is fishery policy adapting? Does future fishery management need to adjust in response to the changing ecosystem? Answer these questions and more!
KELT was pleased to welcome Susan Farady J.D., Associate Professor of Marine Affairs at the University of New England, for a lecture on Climate Change and Marine Policy.
The impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems include changes to individual organisms as well as entire populations and communities. As New England ocean waters warm and ocean circulation changes, marine animals are moving from their preferred habitat to new locations; additionally, changes to predator-prey relationships and food availability prompt organisms to adjust their feeding behaviors and locations. This presentation will explore selected New England fisheries (codfish, lobster and squid) as case studies of how climate change impacts are affecting not only the natural system but the fishery policy and management regime as well, and how future fishery management may need to adjust in response to the changing ecosystem.
Susan Farady is an Associate Professor of Marine Affairs at the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine. She teaches courses in interdisciplinary marine law and policy, oversees curriculum offerings, and researches ocean governance and marine spatial planning issues.
