Justin has over 25 years’ experience in Maine and has previously worked for the Maine Atlantic Salmon Commission, NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center and Maine Sea Grant. His research has spanned freshwater habitat and population assessments for Atlantic Salmon, alewife and smelt to evaluating stocking strategies, habitat suitability, and restoration monitoring. Much of his time has been in the headwaters and estuary of the Penobscot River. Justin received his B.S. Biology and M.S. in Marine Biology from the University of Maine. As part of the talk he will try and touch on the link that forage species have on larger fish like stripers and give perspective on their plight along the east coast and what that means for Maine’s anglers.
