Fishing for Solutions: Climate Change and the Seafood Industry

Maine Historical Society - Programs Podcast

Recorded May 3, 2023 - Commercial fishermen have a front-row seat to the impacts of climate change and are in a unique and valuable position to help craft the response to the climate change crisis. Sarah Schumann is the coordinator for Fishery Friendly Climate Action, a grassroots initiative that provides fishermen, fisheries associations, and seafood businesses with tools, networking, access, and knowledge to advocate for robust climate solutions that work for U.S. fisheries and not at their expense. In this talk, Sarah discussed her work for climate action strategies that restore the health of marine ecosystems while at the same time safeguarding the livelihoods of marine food producers like those in Maine.
