Ilene M. Kaplan,
professor of sociology, has been invited to work with the National Marine
Fisheries Service to study tradition and changing marine policy in the Honolulu
Seafood Auction. She will focus on changes in marketing practices in the South
Pacific and the impact of technology on auction procedures. She also was asked
to participate in a Fishing Communities Workshop in April in Washington,
D.C., to advise staff at the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on the development of new marine
policies; and on a Washington, D.C.,
task force on Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management. She published an invited
article on safety at sea that was part of a government series on safety.
