Join us today for a thought-provoking interview with John Bullard, the Regional Administrator in charge of NOAA Fisheries from Maine to Cape Hatteras, NC. A native of New Bedford, Massachusetts (and the city's former mayor), John believes strongly that protecting the soul of New England means protecting our working waterfronts. Ben and John discuss what makes fisheries management so hard and the new difficulties posed by climate change. Ben also shares the findings of a new study that demonstrate the impact of the North Atlantic Oscillation (or NAO, a short-term climate cycle similar to El Niño) on cod stocks in the northern Atlantic. Check out our website for more info on the NAO! PLUS: Monique tells Ben the very sad story of Larry the lost lobster. Photo of Mr. Bullard courtesy of GARFO.
