Moir's organization supports NOAA's Ocean Ecosystem Research within a portion of Stellwagen
Today, four Massachusetts-based community organizations submitted a letter to John Bryson, Secretary of Commerce, requesting that NOAA (National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration) expedite important measures designed to further science-based management of Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary and fisheries in New England. "Stellwagen Bank Sanctuary, an 842-square mile area spanning the approach to Massachusetts Bay, is home to over five hundred species of fish, sea birds, whales and diverse marine life," said Rob Moir, PhD, of the Ocean River Institute. "This ocean ecosystem research is an opportunity for fishermen and scientists, working together, to ensure plentiful seafood and a healthy marine ecosystem for the future."
