Podcasts about coastal fisheries

This is the third episode in our Future Fisheries Management series, which we are running in collaboration with the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and the Center for Governance and Markets at the University of Pittsburgh. In this episode, Michael speaks with Paige Roberts, a fisheries ecologist and geographic information systems, or GIS, expert who is currently an independent consultant after working for nine years for the One Earth Future Foundation, an organization that specializes in finding sustainable solutions in fragile and conflict-affected settings. During her time with One Earth, Paige was closely involved with Project Badweyn in the country of Somalia. Through this project Paige and her colleagues created a free online tool to map out Somali coastal resources and fishing activities to help a range af actors better understand interactions between human activities and the environment. Michael and Paige discuss this project as well as efforts of of the One Earth Future Foundation to promote the sustainability of coastal fisheries through a co-management approach. The conversation concludes with a discussion of Paige's next steps since leaving the One Earth Foundation.   References: A summary of Project Badweyn: https://oneearthfuture.org/en/secure-fisheries/project-badweyn-mapping-somali-coastal-resources-0 Paige describing Project Badweyn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU2fCo6Y1JU GIS resources that Paige shared after the interview: Esri makes some of the most popular GIS software. It's a subscription service, but you can get a personal license for around $100 for a year, which gives you access to ArcGIS Pro Software, ArcGIS Online, and the self-paced online training which has a slew of training modules from beginner to advanced. The ArcGIS Pro software is fairly intuitive once you learn the basics of GIS. For a free option, QGIS is an open-source GIS software with all the same capabilities as ArcGIS but in a slightly less intuitive interface. It's widely used so there are ample resources online including its own Training Manual. There are many other free resources online and a quick Google search can get you anything you need, from blogs to videos on beginning to advanced techniques and troubleshooting.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Coastal Fisheries Program Leader Robin Reichers makes his return this week. We discuss the latest in saltwater fisheries management pertaining to our most sought after bay species in trout, redfish and flounder. Over the course of my career we've seen the spotted sea trout limit go from 10 fish to 5 [...]

This week the Gamekeeper crew welcomes Pat Murray the president of the Coastal Conservation Association and discuss issues around our coastal fisheries. Pat has a lot of hands on salt water guiding experience that helps him understand the resources and its challenges. We all learned a thing or two and gained more great respect for the people managing these special fisheries. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.   Stay connected with GameKeepers:  Instagram: @mossyoakgamekeepers Facebook: @GameKeepers Twitter: @MOGameKeepers YouTube: MossyOakGameKeepers Website: Mossy Oak GameKeeperSupport the show

Producer/Host: Ron Beard Talk of the Towns: Local Community concerns and opportunities Over the last 40 years, Paul Anderson has had a key role in understanding and communicating marine science in Maine. As a micro-biologist for the Department of Marine Resources, he helped establish protocols so citizen-scientists could contribute data helping assure that clams harvested from Maine flats were safe to eat. He led the University of Maine's Sea Grant program, with its emphasis on extension, education, and research. And after several years at the helm, he is stepping down as head of the non-profit Maine Center for Commercial Fisheries, based in Stonington, helping further the organization as a partner in scientific research. Recently, Paul sat down for a wide-ranging conversation with Talk of the Towns host, Ron Beard. Anderson reflected on his work, some of the changes he has seen and what might lie ahead in Maine's marine economy. -What were the highlights of your career in marine science, including your work with the Maine Department of Marine Resources, University of Maine Sea Grant and the Maine Center for Coastal Fisheries? -What makes Maine's marine ecosystem most interesting? -How have citizens gotten involved with collecting environmental data? -What are the most interesting connections between marine science and how people make their livings along the coast and the quality of life and the environment? -Through you career so far, what are some of the ‘ah-ha” moments when you saw marine science and resource management come to the forefront of solving problems or developing new approaches? -Any reflections to share with young folks about careers and jobs in marine-related science, management and fisheries? Guest: Paul Anderson, Executive Director, Maine Center for Commercial Fisheries About the host: Ron Beard is producer and host of Talk of the Towns, which first aired on WERU in 1993 as part of his community building work as an Extension professor with University of Maine Cooperative Extension and Sea Grant. He took all the journalism courses he could fit in while an undergraduate student in wildlife management and served as an intern with Maine Public Television nightly newscast in the early 1970s. Ron is an adjunct faculty member at College of the Atlantic, teaching courses on community development. Ron served on the Bar Harbor Town Council for six years and is currently board chair for the Jesup Memorial Library in Bar Harbor, where he has lived since 1975. Look for him on the Allagash River in June, and whenever he can get away, in the highlands of Scotland where he was fortunate to spend two sabbaticals.

This week, I talked with Ronda Dodge, Chairperson of the INH Board of Directors, about the upcoming closure of the Island Nursing Home. In this episode, she addresses the following community questions: 1. Matthew Trombley, Senior Executive Director, has announced he will be leaving. What is his timing? Does his contract provide for a severance payment? 2. What will happen with the Administrator in Training position when Matthew leaves? 3. Matthew indicated in a previous podcast that Berry Dunn (INH's outside accounting firm) ran scenario analyses. Has the board reviewed that information? Is the board planning to share that information with the Task Force? 4. INH had a lease on a house owned by Maine Center for Coastal Fisheries. Why was that lease given up if housing was needed? 5. After all residents have been placed, what is the proposed INH budget? How will it be financed given no revenue stream? How many staff will still be employed and for what period? Ronda also asks for the community's help in supplying residents with items to help them settle into their new homes. To volunteer to help with this, please feel free to reach out to me at ihwf1966@gmail.com. Keep those questions coming! Questions can be sent to my email address ihwf1966@gmail.com and we will try to cover them in the next podcast.

Producer/Host: Natalie Springuel The Maine Fisherman's Forum is an annual event that brings together thousands of people who are connected to Maine's fishing industry. Like so many events, the 2021 Fisherman's Forum was cancelled due to COVID, but the stories and voices from the fishing industry persist! For this month's episode of Coastal Conversations, our stellar team of student production assistants from College of the Atlantic sifted through the archives of 60+ interviews collected at past Maine Fishermen's Forum. They found some gems, including the voices of fishermen, legislators, and scientists, reflecting on ecosystem-based fisheries management, ecological knowledge gleaned from years at sea, and life in fishing communities. Today's show was assembled by our student production assistants who explain they wanted this show “to explore the lives of people deeply connected to the water, and weave together an image of Maine's marine ecosystem including the ocean, the fish, and the humans that inhabit it. We want to share the tremendous amount of knowledge and experience fishermen have about the ecosystems they work within.” Thanks to Camden Hunt, Ela Keegan and Ellie White of College of the Atlantic for your excellent radio production assistance, and Galen Koch of The First Coast for your tireless guidance. Note: A few of the voices featured on today's episode may sound familiar to our listeners but the show in its entirety is new. Voices of the Maine Fishermen's Forum interviews were collected at the 2018 and 2019 Maine Fishermen's Forum in Rockland Maine by volunteers, staff and students from The First Coast, Maine Sea Grant, College of the Atlantic and Island Institute. All the interviews on today's show are part of the Voices of the Maine Fishermen's Forum Collection which can be found on The First Coast website and at NOAA Fisheries Voices Oral History Archives. Today's featured voices include the following (please note that affiliations may have changed since the time of interview): Paul Anderson, Maine Center for Coastal Fisheries, Stonington Herbert (Herb) Carter Jr., commercial shellfish harvester, Deer Isle Philip Conkling, co-founder and former president, Island Institute Parker Gassett, University of Maine graduate student Dan Harriman, fisherman who operates Maine's last mackerel weir in Cape Elizabeth Pat Shepard, Maine Center for Coastal Fisheries, Stonington Angus King, United States Senator from Brunswick Edwin McKie, lobsterman, Prince Edward Island, Canada Dave Cousens, lobsterman, South Thomaston Avery Waterman, lobsterman, North Haven Marcia Beal Brazier, fisherman's wife, Ogunquit About the host: Natalie Springuel has hosted Coastal Conversation's since 2015, with support from the University of Maine Sea Grant where she has served as a marine extension associate for 20 years. In 2019, Springuel received an award for Public Affairs programming from the Maine Association of Broadcasters for the Coastal Conversations show called “Portland's Working Waterfront.” Springuel is passionate about translating science, sharing stories, and offering a platform for multiple voices to weigh in on complex coastal and ocean issues. She has recently enrolled in audio production training at Maine Media Workshop to dive deeper into making great community radio.

Gill nets, shrimp trawling, overfishing... these are just some of the reasons that the state of North Carolina finds itself in a new lawsuit against CCA and dozens of concerned residents. North Carolina used to be one of the best inshore fisheries on the East Coast, yet over the past decade or so it's been on a gradual decline. Find out all of the details in this lawsuit as I interview CCA Executive Director David Sneed.
