CCCHFA’s past programs are a diverse array of cooperative research projects, educational outreach efforts, and other initiatives that have helped us learn more about our oceans and teach others what we’ve learned.
Fishermen and scientists have been working together to improve our understanding of Cod and Haddock populations by tagging fish in New England and Canadian waters, in both inshore and offshore locations.
CCCHFA collaborated with the Gulf of Maine Research Institute to calculate spiny dogfish discard mortality for hook and line vessels in the Gulf of Maine and Southern New England waters using seafloor caging methods.
