outreach / video

I am a strong proponent of using video media as a platform for outreach. I was involved in the making of three documentary films for Fish Navy Films, two focused on whether aquaculture is a solution for imperiled fisheries and food security (Fish Meat and Raising Shrimp) and the other on the broad motivations as to why people fish (What We Fish For). These films have screened at a number of film festivals, including the prestigious Blue Ocean Film Festival, and are now available on YouTube.

with the Science Media Collaborative

I have collaborated with students at UMass Amherst via the Science Media Collaborative to produce video products for stakeholder groups and government agencies.  Most notably is a series of short documentaries on the removal of small dams in Massachusetts, a collaboration with the Division of Ecological Restoration.

Removal of the Turner Dam on the Nissitissit River in Pepperell Massachusetts reconnected approximately 40 miles of upstream habitat to the Nashua River.

MA DER, the City of Fall River, The Nature Conservancy, and other partners removed the Bleachery Dam in Freetown in 2016. Removal of the dam reconnected seven ...

DER and partners removed two dams on the Shawsheen River in Andover to reduce flooding risk and provide more opportunities to enjoy this river.

 
 

I have also participated in a number of other video media productions, primarily as a scientist and angler that is helping to make research and conservation about recreational fisheries more accessible. Productions he has been a part of include:
