Surf & Turf: a seafood justice podcast
Surf & Turf is a seafood justice podcast that dives deep into the complex and often overlooked issues of access, equity, and justice in the U.S. seafood system. From the docks to the dinner plate, seafood supports communities and economies up and down the coasts, but social, political, and environmental conditions pose significant challenges to the health and well-being of the people who rely on fish for their food and livelihoods. Each week, host Dr. Caroline Ferguson speaks with an extraordinary individual working to create a more just seafood system that nourishes us all.

Alice Howard, seafood for culture & community
Alice Howard is the founder and Executive Director of Sunrise Forever, Inc, a non-profit in Providence, Rhode Island serving the Liberian community. This is part two of our two-part series on a seafood donation program in Rhode Island, created following increased food insecurity and disrupted seafood supply chains in the early weeks and months of the pandemic. Indigenous, immigrant, and refugee communities disproportionately face food insecurity. These communities also prefer whole, fresh fish and value the diversity of species caught in local waters, which don't always make it to local stores. Today, Sunrise Forever Inc. serves over 300 families on a weekly basis.
