Social Engineering: [Still] A Dangerous Policy (Northwoods Sporting Journal)
NFC Executive Director Bob Mallard talks about “Social Engineering” as a management tool in Northwoods Sporting Journal as part of a monthly native fish conservation column. This basically means doing what the public wants, at least when it mimics what state biologists want...
“Fifteen years ago, I wrote a piece for this publication called, ‘Social Engineering: A Dangerous Policy.’ In the article I challenged Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife position that social desires, not science, should drive fisheries management decisions. A decade and a half later, my opinion has not changed. ”
