• Description:
  This report is a synthesis of the outcomes of the first plenary workshop of the US-Canada Climate and Fisheries Futures Collaborative. The CFFC initiative emerged from a growing awareness of the rapid climate-related changes in our Northwest Atlantic marine ecosystem and the building evidence that these changes are in part linked to rapid warming in the Arctic that have ripple effects to lower latitudes. These changes pose both threats and opportunities for our traditional fisheries and the communities that depend on them. We see value in building a cross-border collaborative involving key stakeholders to evaluate Arctic influences on our shared fisheries resources. Toward that end, the Lobster Institute secured support from the University of Maine’s Arctic Seed Grant program to hold two plenary cross-border workshops to develop and strengthen partnerships with other institutions and individuals in the region and to promote collaborations to elevate future external proposals to a highly competitive level.
