In 1996, she founded The Lobster Conservancy with a vision of building a bridge to join all those sharing the common goal of maintaining a strong and healthy lobster resource. She has been called "the Jane Goodall of lobsters", and her work has been featured by the media on television (including, the Today Show, CBS Sunday Morning, Animal Planet Report, PBS), radio (including All Things and Maine Things Considered), in newspapers (including the New York Times, Washington Post, Portland Press Herald, AP), magazines (including Der Spiegel, Atlantic Monthly, Chronicle of Higher Education), and books (including The Secret Life of Lobsters and The Lobster Coast).
