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.

Andrea Tomlinson, supporting young fishermen and women
Why aren't young people entering fisheries in the same numbers as generations past? How is this trend impacting coastal communities in New England? Andrea Tomlinson and the New England Young Fishermen's Alliance are out to address the "graying of the fleet" by supporting young people in fisheries and the development of new young fishermen and women. We discuss some of the reasons behind the trend, including catch shares and policies of privatization, as well as the diverse and important roles that women play in the industry.
