Waterside Chat with Rick Crawford of the Fly Fishing Climate Alliance

[Recorded April 20, 2022]

Rick Crawford joined Waterside Chat host Tom Sadler in April 2020. Rick is the creator and host of The Sustainable Angler, an award-winning podcast, and founder of the Fly Fishing Climate Alliance. They talked about:

• Rick’s love of the Low Country, and how his concern for his children’s future there drives his work. In his eyes, addressing climate change is fundamentally conservative.
• The everyday effects of a changing climate he sees in Charleston, South Carolina, including sunny-day flooding and changes in the tides.
• How he helps companies make the business case for sustainability.
• How fly fishing guides, shops, lodges and brands can be a model for other industries if the move to net-zero carbon emissions.
