The board of directors of Maine Center for Coastal Fisheries has tapped Paul Anderson, director of the University of Maine Sea Grant College Program, to be its new executive director.
Anderson, who has been with the Sea Grant program for 16 years, will succeed Robin Alden, founding executive director of the Stonington-based nonprofit, who earlier this year announced her plans to retire at the end of this year.
Anderson will join the nonprofit in September and fully assume executive director duties on Jan. 1.
During his time with UMaine’s Sea Grant program, Anderson’s portfolio includes work involving commercial fisheries, aquaculture, coastal community development, ecosystem health and coastal resiliency. He also serves in national leadership with the Sea Grant Association, and is co-leader for the new state-bond-funded Alliance for Maine’s Marine Economy.
At the university, he holds additional positions as research network director of the Sustainable Ecological Aquaculture Network, also known as SEANET, and as director of the Aquaculture Research Network.
For a number of years he served as chairman of the Maine Fishermen’s Forum Board.
MCCF, which formerly was known as Penobscot East Resource Center, has received national and international recognition during the last two years for its work securing a future for Maine fishing communities. Its focus is on co-management of Maine’s marine resources, investing in people through education and leadership, in collaborative science and in advocacy for coastal fishermen and their communities.
Founding director Alden recently received a prestigious "Hero of the Seas" award from the international Peter Benchley Ocean Awards nonprofit organization for her grassroots work in building “sustainable, healthy coastal fisheries and fishing communities."
