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.

Dave Love, seafood waste
Professor Dave Love shares his research on when, where, and how much seafood is wasted in the U.S. and his tips for how we can each reduce seafood waste in our own homes, as well as systemic changes that are needed. With his colleagues at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, Dave studies the nutritional and environmental cost of seafood waste. After our conversations with fishermen and advocates who honor their catch this season, I also feel an emotional and spiritual loss.
