Heidi G. Frontani, associate professor of geography, co-authored a paper titled “New England Fisheries and Participatory Management: Rhetoric and Realities” with Mark Simonitsch, a commercial fisherman from Massachusetts. The article appears in the July issue of the refereed journal Studies in New England Geography.
Frontani began research on North American fisheries in 2001 when she received a summer fellowship from Elon to compare the impact of marine management practices, especially the establishment of marine protected areas, on fishers’ livelihoods in East Africa and Eastern North America.
