This week on the podcast, host Joanna Roche of the Maria Mitchell Association sits down with RJ Turcotte, Nantucket’s Water Keeper, to hear his inspiring island origin story. RJ shares how his first connection to Nantucket began as a Boy Scout visiting the island, a spark that eventually led him to his current role as a guardian of Nantucket’s waters. He explains what being a Water Keeper truly means, the responsibilities that come with the position, and the journey that brought him to this vital role in protecting the island’s environment and community.
