– The Senate in the U.S. state of Maine unanimously confirmed Carl Wilson as the new commissioner of the state's Department of Marine Resources (DMR) on 8 April.
"Carl's extensive experience and deep understanding of Maine's marine industries make him exceptionally qualified to lead DMR," Maine Governor Janet Mills said. "I look forward to working with him to support the Maine people who make their living on the water and the communities that depend on them."
Wilson said that he was honored to be confirmed to the role, saying, "I am committed to leading the department's efforts to sustainably manage Maine's marine resources and support the individuals and industries that rely on them."

Wilson was nominated by Mills on 26 February to succeed Patrick Keliher, who announced his retirement from the role on 19 February.
