Narrative:	Interest and participation in cooperative research was increased through extension contacts with fishermen and researchers region wide (MA, NH and ME). In 2007, a total of (10) fisheries related cooperative research proposals were submitted to the Northeast Consortium, NMFS, CRPP, and NOAA. Four projects were funded and six are currently in review. A total of twenty (20) fishermen and four (4) scientists partnered in the development of these proposals.
Entered:	26-Feb-08
Related indicators:	SGWR2 - 40 fishermen per year participate in cooperative research proposals submitted to appropriate programs or agencies SGWR6 - 5 cooperative research proposals per year involving scientists and fishermen that focus on reducing benthic impacts of mobile fishing gear are submitted to appropriate programs/agencies SGWR8 - Fishermen will receive $2 million annually in competitive funding for cooperative research SGWR9 - 10 fishermen per year collaborate with scientists to conduct cooperative research projects.

Narrative:	To assist with the proactive management of the haddock resource a regional haddock gear workshop was held to discuss bycatch reduction and separation technologies in the haddock fishery, and use this discussion to make recommendations on potential conservation gear for inclusion into the fishery. Also, an International Symposium on haddock biology, management and gear technologies was offered with more than ninety (90) participants from US, Sweden, Scotland, Norway, Denmark, England and Canadian provinces attending.
Entered:	26-Feb-08
Related indicators:	SGWR1 -30 fishermen per year participate in fishing gear workshops that target by-catch reduction SGWR2 - 40 fishermen per year participate in cooperative research proposals submitted to appropriate programs or agencies SGWR4 - 30 commercial fishermen increase knowledge of new conservation fishing gear that reduces benthic habitat impact. SGWR7 - As technology becomes available, 10 fishermen per year choose soft-bottom fishing gear over traditional equipment as it becomes available. SGWR8 - Fishermen will receive $2 million annually in competitive funding for cooperative research SGWR9 - 10 fishermen per year collaborate with scientists to conduct cooperative research projects.

Narrative:	The fishermen-led fishing gear workshop for non-fishermen which originated in 2005 was continued in 2007 with funding from the UNH Cooperative Extension program. Twenty-one (22) participants representing fisheries state and federal government agencies (NMFS, MEDMR, MADMF, NEFMC) as well as academic groups (UNH Marine Docents, UNH Cooperative Extension) and a representative from Carol Shea-Porters office attended the workshop.

Narrative:	Two, NH fishermen used a scaled-down version of the haddock targeting Eliminator trawl as part of a pilot-study to develop a special access program to increase haddock landings for regional fishermen while minimizing cod and flounder bycatch.

Related indicators:	SGWR5 - As technology becomes available, 10 fishermen per year choose non-mandatory conservation-minded gear over traditional equipment as it becomes available. SGWR8 - Fishermen will receive $2 million annually in competitive funding for cooperative research SGWR9 - 10 fishermen per year collaborate with scientists to conduct cooperative research projects.
Related locale:	Coastal NH

Narrative:	The “Marine Debris to Energy” program began in April, 2008 with funding from NOAA. This program will engage the fishing community to remove derelict fishing gear from the Gulf of Maine as well as increase beach clean-up capacity along coastal NH. To date 3.5 metric tons of fishing gear has been collected and recycled at a local energy conversion plant.

Narrative:	Funding ($80,000) was obtained through the USDA SBIR program to assist the first commercial offshore-mussel farmer in the US with commercialization and optimization of the technology to improve economic viability. Financial support was also received from the NOAA Marine Aquaculture program ($212,000) to support and assist regional fishermen with offshore mussel farm start-up.
