Curt Brown spent his childhood harvesting lobsters across the Maine coast. He then went on to earn a Master of Science from the University of Maine as an adult, where he observed the same waters he spent years fishing for the species.
With today’s rapidly changing climate, many researchers are worried that Maine lobsters will move north to find colder waters, but Brown isn’t so sure. He sees all of the forces impacting the lobsters’ ecosystem as highly complex. Brown’s studies in marine biology and policy, alongside his continued work as a lobsterman, has helped him understand that the lobster industry depends on various factors—some beyond people’s control.
