I’ve recently started a new position at the University of Rhode Island’s Coastal Resources Center (URI-CRC). Together with Dr. Austin Humphries, Dr. Elin Torell and Lauren Josephs, and in partnership with experts at the U.S. Agency for International Development, we’re conducting research to examine the social and ecological impacts of distant water fleet (DWF) fishing. My piece of the research is focused on the impacts of DWFs on food security in the places where they fish.
