Mapping Ecological and Scientific Knowledge of the Atlantic Cod in Southern New England to Improve Fisheries Management
Faculty Sponsor: Caroline Karp
In cooperation with scientists and fishermen, Emma compiled information to create a greater understanding about populations of Atlantic cod. She used ethnographic methodologies and geographical information system (ArcGIS) technology to organize her findings and produce a more nuanced and accurate body of knowledge about the species. This work will lay the groundwork for improved communication between commercial and scientific communities, creating a foundation from which improved fisheries management decisions can be made.
