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.

Peleke Flores, restoring an ancient Hawaiian fishpond
Peleke Flores is piecing together the puzzle of ancient Hawaiian fishponds, which were a vital part of the integrated Hawaiian food and cultural system for centuries, before colonization interrupted and threatened to destroy Hawaiian foodways. Peleke is the Field Operations & Cultural Resources Manager at Mālama Hulē'ia, a non-profit in Kaua´i that advocates, educates, and leads community efforts to remove red mangrove along the Hule‘ia river, re-establishes native wetland ecosystems, and creates an environmental stewardship program honoring Hawaiian values.
