For Shore
For Shore is a podcast about our coasts and oceans, hosted by Sea Grant. When you listen, you’ll hear from experts – including scientists, fishermen, community leaders, resource managers, and others – working on topics critical to Sea Grant’s mission. This season features researchers that the Northeast Sea Grant Consortium funded to look into how coastal communities are potentially impacted by the introduction of new oceanic industries. Fishermen, in particular, are grappling with changes to their industry and the environment they work in. We’re here to have candid conversations that help make marine science and policy accessible and understandable to all - and that includes you.
