September 2, 2015 — A few weeks ago, I traveled with a film crew from New Hampshire Public Television (NHPTV) to Newfoundland.
While there, we visited with scientists and fishermen to see what we could learn about their experiences since the 1992 Cod Moratorium.
The trip was for a new NHPTV documentary being produced in partnership with NH Sea Grant/UNH Cooperative Extension about the groundfish crisis here in the Gulf of Maine.
We were particularly curious about what we’d find since cod stocks are finally beginning to recover and Newfoundlanders may be on the ‘other side’ of their cod crisis.
