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.

Travis Dardar, fighting LNG in Louisiana
Travis Dardar is an Indigenous and commercial fisherman in Cameron, Louisiana who is fighting not just for his heritage but for the very lives of his loved ones. Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) is marketed as a "transition" energy, but in reality it is entrenching the power and pollution of the oil and gas industry, threatening the livelihoods and health of families living nearby, including fishing families. Travis is an inspiring leader and activist, and an unwitting one.
