Dr Marc Gaden and Great Lakes Fishery Commission Priorities

  • Summary

  • Dr. Marc Gaden is the new Executive Secretary of the Great Lakes Fishery commission and the guest on The Blue fish Radio Show. Marc speaks with host Lawrence Gunther about the Commission’s effort to catch up on Sea Lamprey control following Covid 19 shut-downs, the move to strengthen knowledge sharing ties with Great Lakes indigenous communities, efforts to widen the net to include even more Great Lakes stakeholders, the important stewardship role of the recreational fishing sector, balancing new perspectives with historical data, addressing invasive species and improving fish habitat, and the general over-all improvement of fish stocks throughout the Great Lakes. Marc also discusses how the value of the world’s most valuable freshwater fishery is defined, and where still more data is needed to fully understand the connection between fish and coastal communities. The two also discuss the importance of environmental groups, commercial, indigenous and recreational fishing interests collaborating on data collection, conservation, advocacy, and just as importantly, promoting and celebrating the bounty of the Great Lakes.
