Eric Schwaab is the new head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service. He is hoping to be able to “promote management that builds sustainable fisheries and vibrant coastal communities.” He also said there are some significant challenges. His experience in this regard was to restore Maryland’s crab fishery. He tried to do this without too heavy of an economic toll on the local watermen. The blue crab population in Maryland is recovering slowly after years of heavy fishing. His goal in Oregon is “to balance long-term sustainability and short-term economic realities.” There is a large group of critics who are skeptical of the government’s ocean-management policies. The group has been dubbed United We Fish.
