The Fisheries Roundtable Series is a set of dynamic, discussion-based sessions about issues facing the New Hampshire fishing industry, including but not limited to offshore wind energy development, bait shortages, marine mammal interactions, and current industry research.
The topics are informed by roundtable participants and an industry-composed steering committee. Sessions occur in-person at various spaces along the NH Seacoast, and virtual participation needs can be accomodated.

Learn about the Fisheries Knowledge Trust: the first industry-owned platform where fishermen can aggregate, secure, and share the knowledge they collect about our oceans into a standardized, accessible repository. Unlike ad hoc efforts to collect data, the Trust is built on the principals of ownership, economic self-interest and reciprocity. It uses a combination of technology and governance procedures to ensure that contributors have the confidence they need that their data will remain secure while ensuring data users that the information is accurate. Fishermen will also share in the value of the information they provide.
