For Maine lobstermen, conservation and success go hand in hand

That perspective has drawn the attention of some philanthropists interested in supporting media outlets that have demonstrated an ability to bring light to this highly divisive topic. The Monitor’s science desk is the proud recipient of a special grant from the Energy Foundation, a philanthropic organization dedicated to “serving the public interest by helping to build a strong, clean energy economy.” In the coming year, these funds will help to bolster our coverage of climate, energy, and the environment. This week, we published the first story produced with these funds, a conservation success story from Maine that challenges the notion that economic and environmental interests must be in opposition. Check out that story on Maine’s famed lobster fishery below and stay tuned for dispatches from all over the United States – and the world that have been enabled by this funding. Warm regards, Noelle Swan, Science editor For Maine lobstermen, conservation and success go hand in hand Conservation efforts are often portrayed as being in opposition to economic interests. But to most Maine lobstermen environmental sustainability is an economic imperative – and a source of pride.
