Andrew Lewin discusses the issue of trawling and the challenges it poses for the government of India. Despite growing concerns about the negative impact of trawling on the environment, the Indian government has been slow to enforce bans on the practice. This is especially problematic as more countries are implementing bans within their exclusive economic zones, leading to Indian fishermen being caught for illegal fishing. The episode explores the historical push towards trawling in India and the need to transition away from this harmful practice. Tune in to learn more about the impact of trawling and what can be done to protect the ocean.

This practice involves dragging a large net equipped with doors and a chain along the bottom of the ocean, capturing everything in its path. One major concern with trawling is its impact on biodiversity. The scraping of the ocean floor destroys habitats like sponge reefs and soft coral reefs, which take a long time to regenerate. These habitats provide crucial shelter and food sources for many marine species. Additionally, trawling often results in high levels of bycatch, where non-target species and juvenile fish are caught and discarded. This disrupts ecosystem balance and leads to declines in vulnerable species populations. The negative effects of trawling extend beyond the immediate area. This practice can release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. It also disturbs sediment on the ocean floor, releasing stored carbon and contributing to ocean acidification. Despite the known environmental impacts, trawling continues to be extensively practiced in many parts of the world, including India. In fact, over 52% of India's total fishing catch comes from trawl nets. While the government has implemented some measures, such as seasonal bans, enforcement of these regulations is often lacking. This is partly due to historical support for trawling as a major source of fish for the country. To address the destructive nature of trawling, alternatives have been proposed. Increasing the mesh size of trawl nets allows juvenile fish and non-target species to escape, reducing bycatch. Efforts have also been made to transition fishermen to more sustainable fishing methods. For example, the Blue Revolution scheme in India aims to replace trawling boats with deep-sea fishing boats that use targeted methods like gill nets and tuna longlining, which do not damage the seabed. In conclusion, trawling is a highly destructive fishing method that poses significant threats to the ocean's health and biodiversity. It destroys habitats, causes high levels of bycatch, and contributes to climate change and ocean acidification. Efforts to reduce the impact of trawling include increasing mesh sizes, implementing seasonal bans, and transitioning fishermen to more sustainable fishing methods. However, further action and enforcement are needed to protect the ocean from the harmful effects of trawling. The government of India has historically supported trawling as a major source of fish for the country, despite increasing bans on trawling in other countries. According to the podcast episode, India has a long-standing push towards trawling as a means of bringing in fish for the country. This can be attributed to various factors, including the government's subsidies for mechanized trawlers, engines, and fuel since the 1950s. These subsidies have incentivized fishermen to engage in trawling as it is a more efficient method of fishing. However, the episode highlights that trawling is facing increasing bans in many countries, including neighboring countries like Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Madagascar. These bans are implemented due to the detrimental impacts of trawling on the environment, such as the destruction of bottom habitats and high levels of bycatch. Despite these bans, Indian fishermen continue to engage in trawling, leading to conflicts with other countries and arrests for illegal fishing. The podcast episode suggests that the government's historical support for trawling and the economic obligations of fishermen contribute to the continued practice of trawling in India. Many fishermen have taken loans to purchase trawlers and are bound by economic obligations that force them to continue trawling to repay their debts and support their families. The bans on trawling in certain seasons and areas have not been effectively enforced, allowing fishermen to continue their operations. To address the issue, the Indian government has started implementing measures to transition fishermen away from trawling. Programs like the Blue Revolution scheme and the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana aim to replace trawling boats with deep-sea fishing boats that utilize targeted fishing methods like gill nets and tuna longlining. These methods do not involve bottom trawling and have fewer impacts on the seabed. However, the transition away from trawling is a complex process that requires significant time, effort, and financial resources. With over 30,000 mechanized trawlers in India, it is challenging to buy out all the trawlers and provide alternative livelihood options for fishermen. Additionally, proper implementation of existing laws, surveillance mechanisms, and monitoring of trawling vessels are crucial to control illegal trawling activities. In conclusion, despite increasing bans on trawling in other countries, the government of India has historically supported trawling as a major source of fish for the country. Economic obligations and the lack of effective enforcement of bans contribute to the continued practice of trawling by Indian fishermen. However, the government has initiated programs to transition fishermen away from trawling and towards more sustainable fishing methods. The transition process requires careful planning, financial support, and effective enforcement of regulations to ensure the conservation of marine ecosystems. Indian fishermen continue to engage in trawling due to economic obligations and the lack of viable alternatives. Trawling has been a major source of income for many fishing communities in India, with 52% of India's total fishing catch coming from trawl nets. The government has historically supported trawling by offering subsidies for mechanized trawlers, engines, and fuel. This has made trawling an attractive option for fishermen, despite its destructive impact on the ocean's health. However, efforts are being made to transition to more sustainable fishing practices. The Blue Revolution scheme by the Department of Fisheries and the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana are two initiatives aimed at replacing trawling boats with deep-sea fishing boats. Deep-sea fishing involves techniques like gill nets and tuna longlining, which are targeted methods of fishing that do not touch the seabed. While these methods have their own challenges, they are considered less destructive compared to bottom trawling. The government's initiatives have already resulted in the distribution of 800 deep-sea fishing boats to fishermen in Tamil Nadu. This transition is a step towards reducing the reliance on trawling and promoting more sustainable fishing practices. However, the cost of buying and maintaining trawling boats is a significant barrier for many fishermen. Loans and economic obligations force them to continue trawling, even if they want to explore alternative methods. To address this issue, it is crucial to provide financial support and training to fishermen to help them transition away from trawling. Subsidies and buyout programs can assist fishermen in purchasing new boats and equipment for sustainable fishing practices. Additionally, training programs can educate fishermen on alternative fishing methods and sustainable aquaculture practices. Enforcement of existing laws and regulations is also essential to control trawling. Surveillance mechanisms and monitoring of trawling vessels should be implemented to ensure compliance with bans and restrictions. International cooperation is also necessary to prevent fishermen from trespassing into other countries' exclusive economic zones and engaging in illegal trawling. Overall, while the transition away from trawling may take time and effort, the government's initiatives and support from the fishing community are crucial steps towards promoting sustainable fishing practices in India. By providing viable alternatives and addressing economic obligations, it is possible to reduce the reliance on trawling and protect the health of the ocean.

Tōkyō, formerly Edo, became the new centre of Imperial Japan, and by 1871, the traditional feudal class system had been abolished, accompanied by compulsory education laws. This era of profound change spurred creative responses to economic challenges. Starting in the summer of 1874, innovative individuals introduced shimbun nishikie, vibrant single-sheet woodblock prints that served as colorful souvenirs. These prints, produced until 1876, were not just visually striking but also narratively engaging, recounting news articles in a format ideal for oral storytelling. Renowned artists like Ochiai Yoshiiku and Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, both students of the celebrated Utagawa Kuniyoshi, played a key role in illustrating these captivating snapshots of an evolving Japan. An excellent article on shinbun nishiki-e can be found here, from All About Japan.  Fighting Off A Wolf by Sadanobu II (1848-1940) from the Nichinichi Shinbun (9 1/2" x 6 3/4")  Satsuma Rebellion -  occurring in 1877, was a last stand against the modernization policies of the Meiji government by disaffected samurai from the Satsuma domain. Led by Saigō Takamori (1828-1877), a key figure in the Meiji Restoration. The rebellion sought to restore imperial power and resist the centralization efforts of the government. The conflict ended in a decisive government victory at the Battle of Shiroyama, where Saigō met his end, marking one of the final samurai-led uprisings in Japan's history. Suzuki Harunobu (1725-1770) -pioneered the art of nishiki-e, becoming the first to craft multi-color woodblock prints. Renowned for his exquisite designs, Harunobu's subjects often revolved around the portrayal of beautiful women, shunga (erotic art), and classical poetry. His innovative techniques and thematic choices significantly influenced the genre during the Edo period in Japan. Lovers Walking In The Snow (1764-1772) (11 1/4"x8 1/8") Emperor Meiji born Mutsuhito (1852 – 1912), was the 122nd Emperor of Japan, reigning from 1867 until his death in 1912. His reign, known as the Meiji Era, marked a transformative period in Japanese history. The Meiji Restoration of 1868 saw the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and the restoration of imperial rule, with Emperor Meiji playing a central role in Japan's modernization and westernization efforts. During his era, Japan underwent significant political, social, and economic reforms, propelling the country into the ranks of major world powers. Emperor Meiji's reign is often associated with Japan's rapid modernization and emergence onto the global stage. sōsaku-hanga -  also known as creative prints, is a printmaking style primarily, though not exclusively, characterized by prints created by a single artist. Originating in early twentieth-century Japan, alongside the shin-hanga movement, this style emphasizes the artist's direct involvement in the entire printmaking process — from design and carving to printing. While the designs, especially in the early stages, may appear rudimentary, the concept of artists producing their own prints marked a significant departure from the traditional model where a select group of carvers, printers, and publishers collaborated in the creation of woodblock prints. shin hanga - is a style of Japanese woodblock printmaking that emerged in the early 20th century, marking the end of the nishiki-e period. Originating around 1915 under the direction of Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962), the art form responded to the foreign demand for "traditional" Japanese imagery. Shin hanga artists focused on motifs like castles, bridges, famous landscapes, and bamboo forests. The style was initiated when Watanabe discovered Austrian artist Fritz Capelari (1884-1950) and commissioned him to design prints for Watanabe's budding printing house. This collaboration led to the evolution of shin hanga into a distinctive new style of Japanese woodblock printing. The shin hanga movement thrived until its inevitable decline after the Second World War (1939-1945). fan print (uchiwa-e) - are crafted in the form of flat, oval fans using materials such as rice paper or silk. These prints are designed to be functional fans, allowing for practical use while showcasing artistic designs.

His diverse talents spanned pharmacology, rangaku (Dutch learning), medicine, literature, painting, and invention. Notable creations include the erekiteru (electrostatic generator), kankanpu (asbestos cloth). Gennai authored satirical works such as Fūryū Shidōken den (1763) and Nenashigusa (1763), along with essays like On Farting and A Lousy Journey of Love. He also wrote guidebooks on male prostitutes, including the Kiku no en (1764) and San no asa (1768). Employing various pen names like Kyūkei and Fūrai Sanjin, he is most recognized by the name Hiraga Gennai. Yokohama-e -refers to a genre of Japanese woodblock prints depicting scenes from Yokohama, a pivotal port city during the late Edo and Meiji periods. These prints showcase the influx of international influences, featuring foreign ships, traders, and cultural exchanges. Yokohama-e captures the dynamic transformation of Japan as it opened to the world, portraying a vivid visual narrative of the city's bustling trade and encounters between Japanese and Western cultures. View of Foreigners' Houses on the Beach Street Seen From Yokohama Port (ca. 1873) by Hiroshige III (1842-1894) Sadahide Utagawa (1807-1878/79) - was a designer of nishiki-e during the late Edo and early Meiji Periods. He trained under Utagawa Kunisada and depicted medieval Japanese scenes, collaborating on the 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō, and prints related to Yokohama-e.   Battle of Ōei (ca.1848) Sir William Henry Perkin (1838–1907) was a British chemist who is renowned for his accidental discovery of the first synthetic dye, known as mauveine or mauve. This significant breakthrough occurred in 1856 when Perkin was attempting to synthesize quinine, a treatment for malaria, from coal tar derivatives. Instead, he obtained a purple-colored substance while working with aniline, leading to the creation of the vibrant purple dye. napthols - are special dyes used in making colourful fabrics on handlooms. They get their name from a specific part in their makeup called an azo group. These dyes are known for making colors really bright and long-lasting on fabrics. They help create fabrics in lots of different colors, like orange, brown, yellow, scarlet, golden yellow, black, red, violet, and more.  orpiment -  sekiō in Japanese, is a bright yellow to orange-yellow mineral composed of arsenic trisulfide (As2S3). It has been historically used as a pigment in painting and for other decorative purposes due to its vibrant color. Often found in association with realgar, another arsenic sulfide mineral, orpiment has also been employed in traditional medicine and alchemy. However, its toxic nature limits such applications, and it's crucial to note that handling orpiment, especially in powdered form, poses health risks due to the presence of arsenic.

The Adachi Institute of Woodblock Prints - is a print studio located in Tōkyō. Established in 1994 in order to promote and preserve the colour woodblock print of Japan. More information, in English and in Japanese.  The 47 Rōnin of Akō - were a group of samurai who sought revenge for the unjust death of their master, Lord Asano Naganori, in 1701. After Asano was forced to commit seppuku (a form of ritual suicide), his loyal retainers, the 47 Ronin, meticulously planned and executed the revenge, successfully avenging their lord's honor. The story is a celebrated example of bushido (samurai code) and loyalty in Japanese history and folklore. smalt - is a deep blue pigment that has been historically used in art and ceramics. It is composed of finely powdered glass, often colored with cobalt oxide to achieve its distinctive blue hue. Smalt was popular during the Renaissance and Baroque periods as a substitute for expensive blue pigments like lapis lazuli. Artists would mix smalt with binders to create blue paint for their artworks. Smalt has some drawbacks, including a tendency to fade over time and a vulnerability to darkening when exposed to certain environmental conditions. Keiji Shinohara - is a Japanese mokuhanga printmaker who apprenticed under Uesugi Keiichiro in Ōsaka. He is the artist-in-residence at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. More info about Keiji can be found here, and here. Yamado-ike from the series Eight Views of Hirakata (2006) 11"x15": gum arabic - is a sap from two types of Acacia tree. In art it is used as a binder for pigments which creates viscosity (depending on how much or little is applied to your pigments) for your watercolours and oils. Rachel Levitas has a fine description on how she uses gum arabic in her work, here.  Bakumatsu Period -  refers to the final years of the Edo period, specifically from the mid-19th century to the early 1860s. The term "Bakumatsu" can be translated as "end of the shogunate."

Our guest in this episode holds not one, but two world records for surfing the biggest waves ever ridden – in both men's and women's categories.  Maya Gabeira, Big Wave Surfer & Environmental Activist, doesn't usually go on podcasts. So we are incredibly privileged to have her on the show as she revives her brave trajectory in pursuit of passion – from serving tables in Hawaii, to the conquest of the big waves sanctuary, Nazare (Portugal).  The one-of-a-kind athlete opens her heart about the challenges of being a pioneering woman in the testosterone-fuelled sport, an almost fatal marine accident, and the special relationship she has with her father – one of the earliest environmental spokespeople in Brazil, Fernando Gabeira, whose mission she follows as a global voice in the protection of the oceans as the ultimate effort in the fight against climate change, which she calls “The Blue Revolution”. So, chill out and ride this big wave with us! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mgempower/message

Fishermen used to rely on good luck to haul in the big catch. But when they began relying on information, instead of luck, they almost caught all the fish in the sea. That leads us to ask:

On this episode, hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham talk to Nicholas P. Sullivan about his new book, The Blue Revolution: Hunting, Harvesting, and Farming Seafood in the Information Age. Nick the story of the recent transformation of commercial fishing, a change from maximizing volume through unrestrained wild hunting to maximizing value through controlled harvesting and farming. Entrepreneurs applying newer, smarter technologies are modernizing fisheries in unprecedented ways. In many parts of the world, the seafood on our plates is increasingly the product of smart decisions about ecosystems, waste, efficiency, transparency, and quality. Nick presents talks about a new way of thinking about fish, food, and oceans, profiling the transformation of an aging industry into one that is “post-industrial”—fueled by “sea-foodies” and locavores interested in sustainable, traceable, quality seafood. Catch quotas can work when local fishers feel they have a stake in the outcome; shellfish farming requires zero inputs and restores nearshore ecosystems; new markets are developing for kelp products, as well as unloved and “underutilized” fish species.

Nicholas P. Sullivan is my guest on Episode 158 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley. Nicholas is a writer and editor focusing on the impact of business and technology on international development. The Blue Revolution is his fourth book. It follows Money, Real Quick: Kenya's Disruptive Mobile Money Innovation; You Can Hear Me Now: How Microloans and Cell Phones Are Connecting the World's Poor to the Global Economy; and Computer Power for Your Small Business. He has been codirector of The Fletcher School's Leadership Program for Financial Inclusion (Tufts University), a consultant to central banks in developing countries, and a visiting scholar at MIT's Legatum Center for International Development. In the publishing world, he was publisher of Innovations: Technology/Governance/Globalization (MIT Press); editor-in-chief of Inc.com; and editor-in-chief of Home Office Computing. Sullivan is currently a Senior Fellow at The Fletcher School's Council on Emerging Market Enterprises and a Senior Research Fellow at its Maritime Studies Program. Sullivan has twice been a Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center Resident Fellow. A graduate of Harvard University and The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, he lives in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. https://islandpress.org/books/blue-revolution

In this first of a two-part program, we take a deep dive into regenerative ocean farming, an extraordinarily productive and low-impact way of producing vast quantities of food for a growing population. It has the potential to re-make agriculture from the bottom up, while regenerating oceans, farmlands, farmer livelihoods, and the climate.  With Bren Smith, co-executive director and co-founder of GreenWave. 

The Chelsea FanCast looks back, season by season, to 50 Years of Chelsea history from 1970 to the present day.Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Mark Meehan to look back at the 1995-96 season.Glen Hoddle embarks on his third season in charge at Chelsea having packed his boots away at the end of the previous season. Before a ball is kicked, one of the most astonishing signings in the history of the club is announced. Former Ballon d'Or winner and Dutch master, Ruud Gullit signs on a free from Sampdoria.Gullit will become one of the most lauded players in Chelsea's history and was the spark that truly ignited the Blue Revolution, not to mention thousands of dreadlock wigs on a match day. But Hoddle wasn't finished. Mark Hughes, Man Utd's war horse of a striker arrives at the club and is later joined by Dan Petrescu and Terry Phelan, the later finally making Hoddle's 3:5:2 wing back system tick.Expectations for sexy football and trophies with Chelsea having reached an FA Cup final and a European final in the last two seasons, were understandably high. As ever, Chelsea was in for a rollercoaster ride.Gullit and Hughes were imperious and Super Dan was a revelation but the League form remained inconsistent; beating the best but losing to the worst teams. Again, it was the FA Cup where Chelsea shone, but as with 1994, they were to lose out to Man Utd, somewhat cruelly, in the semi-final.But the season saw great free flowing passing football and the team really beginning to gel. A trophy appeared to be not far off and we wouldn't have to wait too long…To help us celebrate 50 Years of Chelsea we've partnered with 3Retro who have a superb collection of Chelsea retro gear and are offering 10% OFF when you use the 3RETRO10 code and if you order over £50 of merch you get FREE UK delivery.

"There is something about seashells that stretches through human time and memory. They are a wonderful way to draw people to what is happening to the ocean and our environment." Support Talking Beats with Daniel Lelchuk. Naturalist writer Cynthia Barnett is here, out with a new book that is at once history, future, and love letter to seashells and the oceans. Using seashells as an entry point for how she teaches us (in a non-dogmatic way) about the perilous state, but also history and beauty of the seas, Cynthia paints a picture of love and immense respect for the great waters. The conversation moves in many interesting directions-- from mangrove forests to seafood-- as Daniel and Cynthia take listeners on a brief guided tour of her ode to the sea. Cynthia Barnett is an award-winning environmental journalist who has reported on water and climate change around the world. Her new book, The Sound of the Sea: Seashells and the Fate of the Oceans, is out in July 2021 from W.W. Norton. Ms. Barnett is also the author of Rain: A Natural and Cultural History, longlisted for the National Book Award and a finalist for the 2016 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award, and Blue Revolution: Unmaking America's Water Crisis, which articulates a water ethic for America. Blue Revolution was named by The Boston Globe as one of the top 10 science books of 2011. The Globe describes Ms. Barnett's author persona as "part journalist, part mom, part historian, and part optimist." The Los Angeles Times writes that she "takes us back to the origins of our water in much the same way, with much the same vividness and compassion as Michael Pollan led us from our kitchens to potato fields and feed lots of modern agribusiness." Her first book, Mirage: Florida and the Vanishing Water of the Eastern U.S. won the gold medal for best nonfiction in the Florida Book Awards and was named by The St. Petersburg Times as one of the top 10 books that every Floridian should read. "In the days before the Internet," the Times said in a review, "books like Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and Marjory Stoneman Douglas' River of Grass were groundbreaking calls to action that made citizens and politicians take notice. Mirage is such a book." Ms. Barnett has written for National Geographic magazine, the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic, Discover magazine, Salon, Politico, Orion, Ensia and many other publications. Her numerous journalism awards include a national Sigma Delta Chi prize for investigative magazine reporting and eight Green Eyeshades, which recognize outstanding journalism in 11 southeastern states. She earned her bachelor's degree in journalism and master's in American history with a specialization in environmental history, and was a Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan, where she spent a year studying water science and history. Ms. Barnett teaches environmental journalism at the University of Florida's College of Journalism and Communications in Gainesville, where she lives with her husband and teenagers.

In this interview on Being White In America, I have a roundtable discussion with Dan McCool, Ph.D., and author of "Self, Institutions, and Others" and the founder of Blue Revolution, and Alicia Jones McLeod of ChallengingRacisim.org, a non-profit organization that aims to educate and empower us with knowledge on institutional and systemic racism. In my never-ending search for growth, evolution, and authenticity, I am tackling the very difficult topic of race relations in America today, specifically from the perspective of what it means to be white in America now, at this current juncture in our history. We address topics like unconscious racism, white privilege, white guilt, racial equality, passive racism, the whitewashing of American history, Black Lives Matter, and more. These kinds of topics that require us to be introspective and uncompromisingly honest with ourselves are never easy. It requires us to turn around and face our shadow selves, our unconscious beliefs and assumptions, and push up against our current comfort zone in order to evolve into greater, more expansive versions of ourselves. Let us have the courage to have difficult conversations, take a deep and honest look at ourselves, and even admit when it's time for us to let go of our outdated, erroneous beliefs that no longer serve us or the world we live in.

Participants in colour revolutions have mostly used nonviolent resistance. Such methods as demonstrations, strikes and interventions have aimed to protest against governments. Colour-revolution movements generally became associated with a specific colour or flower as their symbol. The colour revolutions are notable for the important role of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and particularly student activists in organising creative non-violent resistance. Such movements have had a measure of success as for example in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's Bulldozer Revolution (2000), in Georgia's Rose Revolution (2003) and in Ukraine's Orange Revolution (2004). In most but not all cases, massive street-protests followed disputed elections or requests for fair elections and led to the resignation or overthrow of leaders regarded by their opponents as authoritarian. Some events have been called "colour revolutions", but differ from the above cases in certain basic characteristics. Examples include Lebanon's Cedar Revolution (2005) and Kuwait's Blue Revolution (2005). Russia and China share nearly identical views that colour revolutions are the product of machinations by the United States and other Western powers and pose a vital threat to their public and national security. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chrisabraham/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/chrisabraham/support

The Washington DC launch of The Making of a Blue Revolution in Bangladesh was held last Februrary 11, 2020 at IFPRI Headquarters, featuring presentations from Paul Dorosh, Director, Development Strategy and Governance Division, IFPRI; Nicholas Minot, Deputy Division Director, Markets, Trade, and Institutions Division, IFPRI; Shahidur Rashid, Director, South Asia, IFPRI; and Xiaobo Zhang, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI, remarks from Loraine Ronchi, Practice Manager for South Asia, Food and Agriculture Global Practice, World Bank Group, and moderated by Rajul Pandya-Lorch, Director, Communications and Public Affairs & Chief of Staff, Director General's Office, IFPRI A rapid increase in aquaculture production in Bangladesh has lowered fish prices, increased protein consumption, and reduced poverty. The Making of a Blue Revolution in Bangladesh offers a valuable case study of how this transformation in the fish value chain has occurred and how it has improved the lives of both fish producers and fish consumers and considers the future potential of aquaculture in Bangladesh.

As promised Michele Happe dropped by to talk about Nevada's great turn of election events and share her thoughts on the national elections.  I didn't hear it discussed in all the cable news I watched, radio I listened to and print media I read on line, but a major factor in the Nevada results is a result of a mass migration of Californians seeking affordable housing.  We talked about this earlier this year on IMT episodes 59-63 but I didn't expect these kinds of results soon. Meanwhile our hearts go out to all Californians suffering the worst disaster imaginable.

Two weeks ago, Bob welcomed Czech native Vit Jedlicka to the show, to discuss his nascent new country of Liberland, located in the no-man's-land between Serbia and Croatia. While Vit is busy recruiting a global legion of volunteers and ambassadors for his new country effort, a related movement is picking up steam right here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Seasteading Institute, founded in 2008 in Silicon Valley, is a nonprofit organization leading the push to populate the high seas with hundreds, or even thousands, of brand-new “startup” societies. Each “seastead” would compete for citizens like businesses compete for customers. This would force innovation, since people could “vote with their boats,” i.e., move to another seastead, if the government failed to provide services or began taxing too much. Joe Quirk is The Seasteading Institute's Communications Director, an acclaimed author of both fiction and nonfiction, and the world's most prolific “seavangelist.” He joins Bob live in the studio to explain why we need seasteading to reinvigorate the frontier and jumpstart both technological and political progress. Quirk's words have inspired audiences worldwide to the cause of seasteading – and not just libertarians. His eight great moral imperatives video series made the case for a “Blue Revolution” in sustainable seafood production, under the stewardship of more efficient, innovative governance. It's a message that should appeal to people across the political spectrum. Listen with a friend and find out you share more common ground – in the ocean – than you thought.
