Background Ecologists, fisheries scientists, and coastal managers have all called for an ecosystem approach to management, yet many species such as the American lobster (Homarus americanus) are still largely managed individually. One hypothesis that has be tested suggests human augmentation of diets via use Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) bait may contribute recent increases in landings. Currently 70% landings Gulf Maine used catch lobsters traps throughout New England....

This study examines the impact of hyperlinks as a mechanism for establishing interorganizational linkages.
