A new paper led by Bigelow Laboratory SRS and Director of the Tandy Center for Ocean Forecasting Nick Record<\/strong> looks at how to make lobster forecasts more useful for the people who rely on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team looked back at news archives and historic ocean data<\/strong>, identifying lessons for forecasting an increasingly unpredictable ocean.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tandy Center recently took ownership of the National Ocean Economics Program<\/a> and is exploring how to use social data like these to help the public understand changes in the ocean and coastal communities that depend on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
