  • Lovely Listen

    Really lovely listen with great stories and insight. As a coastal person, it’s nice hearing about similar issues on other coasts and becoming more informed about the different, yet largely similar, environmental changes affecting creatures and populations inhabiting the surrounding areas. Thank you Sea Change!

  • So well done

    After hearing the fertilizer episode I had to leave a review. So often things are described as “complex” and yet they often are just not understood. I feel like I have a much greater understanding of the impact of what is happening. Thank you for your reporting. It’s valuable. Keep it up.!!

  • Agents of change

    This storytelling format is a values-driven look at where science is failing to build the future we need. By talking about what’s happening to our coasts and the communities dealing with coastal effects, we can sense the human dimension of the coastal management and applied science.

Farming the Ocean: Part 1
Q: What are the environmental impact concerns regarding fish farms?
Melvin Jackman describes the environmental devastation from salmon farms, noting the lack of oxygen, presence of methane bubbles, and the visual pollution from trash and plastic. He believes these farms destroy marine ecosystems and calls out corporate negligence.
The Quiet Revolution Saving Fish and Fishermen
Q: What are the main critiques or concerns about catch shares?

The Quiet Revolution Saving Fish and Fishermen

Initially reluctant, Buddy found that implementing catch shares significantly improved his earnings and quality of life, leading him to support the system.
The Quiet Revolution Saving Fish and Fishermen

Catch shares originated as a proposed solution to overfishing, focusing on people management rather than just fish populations, recognizing that human behaviors drive the outcomes.
The Next Big One: Are We Prepared?
Q: Eva, wow, so much changed over the last year at the Flood Authority. What was your experience like reporting this ever-evolving story?
