In July, we announced that the NSF Seafood Engine in New England, led by NERACOOS, won a $15M U.S. National Science Foundation award to strengthen fisheries and aquaculture. Along with this exciting news came big changes for our small team.

Today, we’re delighted to share the news that Jackie Motyka is taking the helm as Executive Director at NERACOOS, as Jake Kritzer steps into the position of CEO at the NSF Seafood Engine of New England.

The 2026 NERACOOS Annual Meeting will be headlined by Mel Allen, author and former longtime editor of Yankee Magazine.

During his decades at the magazine, Mel wrote, edited, and assigned myriad articles about the seafood industry, with a special focus on the people who keep the catch moving from boat to plate, shaping the character of New England. Please join us for an unforgettable storytelling session about the industry’s incalculable impact on the region’s economy, culture, and mystique, and the ways it has shaped New England's identity.

It’s all part of our seafood celebration in honor of the NSF Seafood Engine in New England, led by NERACOOS, winning a $15M U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) award to strengthen fisheries and aquaculture.

Did you know that webcams around New England are tracking more than shoreline change?

In Westerly, Rhode Island, they are also used to monitor beach traffic during the busy summer months.

The NERACOOS Water Level Network plays a critical role in preparing for and responding to coastal flooding. Working with a network of partners from the Gulf of Maine to Long Island Sound, we deploy and maintain water level sensors that produce high-quality coastal data to support local decision-making, emergency response, and climate planning.

During the height of last Friday’s storm, Buoy E, which is (normally) located on the Central Maine Shelf off Monhegan Island, began transmitting position alerts. The wind and wave data showed strong southerly winds of 30 knots, gusting to 45, driving 18-foot waves from the south-southwest, indicating the buoy had broken free from its anchor and gone adrift.

The University of Maine crew, who maintain the buoy, jumped into action to formulate a plan for retrieval. Thanks to their dedication, Buoy E was recovered on Saturday with the help of MV James Goodwin and taken to Quincy, Massachusetts, where it was picked up. Great work, team!

Until the buoy can be repaired and redeployed, nearby ocean observing assets that can support mariner safety and weather forecasts include the NERACOOS/UMaine Penobscot Bay Buoy (F01), NDBC Matinicus Rock C-MAN station, and NDBC Casco Bay Buoy, all of which are accessible through the NERACOOS Mariners' Dashboard
