Speaker<\/strong>: Robin Alden, former Director, Maine Center for Coastal Fisheries<\/p>\nUse conflicts are front and center in the Gulf of Maine as industrial-scale wind power and aquaculture development gain momentum and significant public and private investment. Looking more closely at fishing uses, can we learn something from an aspirational industry that seeks to create value by operating within the Gulf\u2019s changing ecology, not just to use it as a place to do business? Robin Alden will explore the Gulf as a complex system and policy that could contribute to fishing forever.<\/p>\n
