ABOUT TED'S WORK
Ted Ames, a long-term, Maine lobster and ground fisherman, has fused the roles of fisherman and applied scientist in response to increasing threats to the fishery ecosystem resulting from decades of over-harvesting. Ames grew up in a fishing family on one of Maine’s remote offshore islands and studied biochemistry at the University of Maine. Having spent several decades of his life at sea, he has witnessed dramatic shifts in the economic landscape throughout the Gulf of Maine, specifically in jobs and shoreside infrastructure. In an effort to address these changes and develop new fisheries management practices for the affected areas, Ames undertook detailed studies of spawning, habitat, and fishing patterns.  His studies, reinforced by a rigorous methodology, draw distinctively from the anecdotal experiences of aging fishermen to map historical patterns and chart the evolution of current conditions. His work paints a scientifically compelling picture of the complexity of the fish population structure in the Gulf and identifies new strategies for individual and institutional marine management in the region. Ames has now established the Penobscot East Resource Center to conduct additional studies of fishing patterns, past and present, and put to further use his trademark approach of combining fishery science and fishermen’s knowledge in the interest of protecting essential fish habitats.

BIOGRAPHY
Ted Ames received an M.S. (1971) in biochemistry from the University of Maine, Orono. He is an independent researcher, commercial fisherman, and a founding member of the Stonington Fisheries Alliance. He served as executive director of the Maine Gillnetters Association, as marine resources director for Maine’s sustainable fisheries organization, the Island Institute, as president and laboratory director of Alden/Ames Laboratory, and for many years as an advisor to the New England Fisheries Management Council. He is currently a practicing fisherman and serves as chair of the Penobscot East Resource Center, a community organization that provides support to local groups engaged in marine management and fisheries stewardship.

关于特德的工作
泰德-艾姆斯是一位长期从事缅因州龙虾和陆上捕捞的渔民，他将渔民和应用科学家的角色融合起来，以应对几十年来过度捕捞对渔业生态系统造成的日益严重的威胁。埃姆斯在缅因州一个偏远的近海岛屿上的一个渔业家庭长大，并在缅因大学学习生物化学。他在海上生活了几十年，见证了整个缅因湾经济格局的巨大变化，特别是就业和岸边基础设施的变化。为了应对这些变化并为受影响地区制定新的渔业管理办法，艾姆斯对产卵、栖息地和捕鱼模式进行了详细研究。 他的研究在严格的方法论支持下，从老龄渔民的轶事经验中汲取了独特的经验，绘制了历史模式和当前条件的演变。他的工作从科学上描绘了海湾地区鱼类种群结构的复杂性，并为该地区的个人和机构海洋管理确定了新的战略。埃姆斯现在已经建立了佩诺布斯科特东部资源中心，对过去和现在的捕鱼模式进行更多的研究，并进一步利用他的标志性方法，将渔业科学和渔民的知识结合起来，以保护基本的鱼类栖息地。

个人简历
泰德-艾姆斯在奥罗诺的缅因大学获得了生物化学的硕士学位（1971年）。他是一个独立的研究者，商业渔民，也是斯托宁顿渔业联盟的创始成员。他曾担任缅因州刺网者协会的执行董事，缅因州可持续渔业组织岛屿研究所的海洋资源主任，Alden/Ames实验室的总裁和实验室主任，并多年担任新英格兰渔业管理委员会的顾问。他目前是一名执业渔民，并担任佩诺布斯科特东部资源中心的主席，这是一个社区组织，为从事海洋管理和渔业管理的当地团体提供支持。
