Danielle Casey, President & CEO of the Albuquerque Regional Economic Alliance, joins Dennis and discusses finding your path in economic development. How do you find the right fit? How do you know when to move to the next position? Is working your way up in one organization preferable, or is there value in working for multiple organizations? Is there a tipping point when it makes more sense to stay with an organization? Are there red flags when looking at joining an organization? Are there some dos and don'ts people should be aware of when interviewing? Ms. Casey brings extensive and diverse experience in leadership, public administration, marketing, business development and retention, and strategic planning as the leader of AREA, a nonprofit organization working to create a prosperous and diverse economy for the four-county Albuquerque metro region.

Ms. Casey served in various executive roles at the City of Maricopa, Ariz. since 2005, lastly as the Assistant City Manager. Departments under her oversight included economic development, community and development services, capital improvement, public works and City-wide marketing and communications activities. She managed several noteworthy tasks in the establishment of the City's economic development office, such as the creation of an Industrial Development Authority, the City's first Redevelopment District and Area Plan, the establishment of a local economic development 501 (c) 3 (the Maricopa Economic Development Alliance), City-wide branding and Economic Development Strategic Plan.

The intense downpours causing more street flooding in the region in recent years reflect the impact of climate change. At the other end of the weather spectrum, Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee this week issued a statewide drought advisory. But there's some good news when it comes to the health of Narragansett Bay. Water quality has improved so much that Crescent Park Beach in East Providence will be reopened as a swimmable beach in 2026, after more than a century of non-use. Jed Thorp is on the frontlines of these issues as director of advocacy for Save The Bay. The nonprofit environmental organization was founded in 1970 to protect Narragansett Bay. More than a half-century later, Rhode Island continues to wrestle with myriad environmental issues. So how does Thorp see the outlook, and is Rhode Island prepared for the environmental future? Political reporter Ian Donnis goes in-depth with Thorp on this week's episode of Political Roundtable.

Connor Tupponce, a member of the Upper Mattaponi and Chickahominy tribes, discusses his work promoting tribal consultation in environmental and land-use matters in Virginia. Indigenous voices are crucial in managing public lands, he says. That's especially true at Werowocomoco, the recently rediscovered site along the York River that was once the seat of the Powhatan Confederacy.

Spring is right around the corner, but some people acted like it was summer this afternoon at Constitution Beach in East Boston. As WBZ's Suzanne Sausville reports, they participated in Save the Harbor/Save the Bay's 14th annual Shamrock Splash.

Our guest for this one is Capt. Eric Pfirrmann, Lead Captain for Save the Bay here in Rhode Island. As some of you more astute listeners may recall, Eric was my first ever guest when I embarked upon this experimental journey.We begin with an update on the Save The Bay fleet, and Eric brings us up to speed on their latest addition, as well as some of the future roles he foresees that craft playing at Save The Bay. He gives us a bit of background on the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, and the influence it's had on the seals we see here in Narragansett Bay. That of course leads us to a discussion of the current seal watch tours Save The Bay operates. Eric tells us everything we need to know to have an enjoyable trip with his team - good binoculars are a plus - and how to dress and just be prepared in general.Finally, he talks about the annual Save The Bay Swim with some insight into the planning and logistics that go into organizing this event.

Marty Gary brings pearls of wisdom on oysters and crabs and life in the Chesapeake bay

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that The first NFL game at night was hosted in Rhode Island? The Providence Steam Roller played the Chicago Cardinals. Although the Steam Roller lost 16-0, the game was declared a  success because 6,000 fans attended. The ball, which had been painted white for the night game, "had the appearance of a large egg," and whenever either team passed, "there was a panicky feeling that the player who made the catch would be splattered with yellow yolk." Now, for our feature story: When a Cranston resident planted a sacred lotus in the pond at Meshanticut State Park in memory of a family member in 2014, she didn't realize the plant was an aggressive invasive species. The lotus, which features enormous floating leaves that shade out native plants, quickly took over a large area of the Rhode Island pond. Five years later, 75 volunteers spent 12 hours cutting it back, but they eradicated just 10 percent of the ever-expanding plant, which today covers 1.83 acres of the 12-acre pond. It's one of many examples of the challenges the state faces in trying to control and eliminate aquatic invasive species. More than 100 lakes and 27 river segments in Rhode Island are plagued with at least one species of invasive plant, according to the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM). These plants pose threats to healthy ecosystems, reduce recreational opportunities, and negatively impact the economy. “Aquatic invasives are definitely a problem for water quality, but there aren't a lot of resources dedicated to mapping them and trying to contain them,” said Kate McPherson, riverKeeper for Save The Bay. “The problem is they can show up in really pristine areas of the state for a variety of reasons, and a lot of the plants only need a couple of cells or a leaf to reproduce. They don't need seeds. So unless you're really diligent about scrubbing down your boat and other equipment after each use, it's really hard to prevent their spread.” In its 2020 fishing regulations, DEM prohibited the transport of invasive plants on any type of boat, motor, trailer, or fishing gear as a strategy to prevent the inadvertent movement of aquatic invasive species from one waterbody to another. “It's essentially an incentive for boaters or anglers to clean off their gear to make sure they don't move any plants unintentionally,” said Katie DeGoosh of DEM's Office of Water Resources. “It's part of a national campaign known as Clean Drain Dry to remind anyone recreating on water how they should decontaminate their gear to avoid spreading invasives.” DEM's latest effort to combat aquatic invasive species is proposed regulations to ban their sale, purchase, importation, and distribution in the state. Rhode Island is the only state in the Northeast that has yet to regulate the sale of these plants. The proposed regulations have the support of Save The Bay, the Rhode Island Natural History Survey, and the Rhode Island Wild Plant Society. “It's a big problem,” McPherson said. “We need to get folks to think about how their activities can spread the plants and get them to think about aquatic invasives as a kind of contaminant.” The proposed regulations, if approved, would be enforced via business inspections by DEM staff. Violators could be fined up to $500 per violation. To read the latest on this story and more on what Rhode Island is doing to handle the Coronavirus, head over to westerleysun.com.

F. Cofone, of South Kingstown who passed away last week. He leaves behind a family he loved immeasurably, including his daughters and their husbands, his grandchildren, and his wife, Judith. He also leaves his sisters, their families, countless cousins, and many who, while not technically family, were family to him. "Pa," as he was coined by his grandchildren, loved singing at the top of his lungs with the windows rolled down, freshly pressed oxford shirts, correct grammar, stories of animal-human connections, laughing with his family, cooking way too much food for any occasion, looking out over the Bras d'Or Lake in Cape Breton, celebrating creativity, and imagining a world where people uniformly treated one another with kindness. A memorial to celebrate his life is being planned and will be shared with those who loved him. In lieu of flowers, donations to Foster Parrots Ltd. and The New England Exotic Wildlife Sanctuary, The Roger Williams Park Zoo, or a kindness shown to someone in his honor would be appreciated by him and his family. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him. Thank you for taking the time today to remember and celebrate Pa's life. That's it for today, we'll be back next time with more!

Trevor Etheridge and Kristen Barry of Save The Harbor Save the Bay promote the 10th annual Shamrock Splash and chat about other beach events for 2020.

 Welcome to Episode 002 of the Maryland Fishing Line This is the podcast where we talk about fishing throughout the state. It’s a place for you whether you chase rockfish in the Chesapeake Bay, snakehead on the Potomac River, white marlin off the coast of Ocean City or trout on the fly in Western Maryland streams. Every week we will bring you fishing reports, news, the information you need and discussions and interviews with folks throughout the state. The Maryland fishing line is a production of The Angler Magazine, Chesapeake Edition. The Chesapeake Angler can be found throughout southern Maryland, Anne Arundel County and the Eastern Shore. If you would like to see it in your area and it’s not there let us know! Thanks to our sponsor This week’s episode is sponsored by Waterfront Marine in Edgewater, Maryland. Waterfront Marine was once again named the #1 Dealer in the world for Chaparral and Robalo boats for the 2nd year in a row in 2019. They offer the largest inventory of new and used boats in the area, including Robalo and Chaparral, along with Bennington pontoons and Carver & Marquis yachts. Their experienced and professional sales staff is there to help you through the buying decision process in a friendly, no-pressure manner. You can find them online at waterfrontmarine.com or call them at 443-949-9041.  All of this information will be available in the show notes. It’s December just a few days before Christmas – so probably not many of us are out there fishing. Rockfish season in Maryland waters is over – it closed out Dec 15 and fishing was great right up until the dinner bell if you knew where to look. But if you are one of the hardy souls that can’t stop and needs to scratch that itch here we go... You can still get out there for a little while longer - The Potomac remains open for two fish per day with a minimum on 20 inches until December 31st.  The lower Potomac on the Virginia side continues to produce excellent catches.  Trollers are doing very well in the 40 foot depth using small umbrella rigs.  The fish are from 20 to 28 inches on average.  Cold, clear weather will find the fish not as eager to bite.  while warmer, overcast days should good. The main stem of  the bay below Smith Point has plenty of fish up to 32 inches, and some of the big sea run stipers are in the mix.  The Virginia season is open until the end of the year, but the minimum is 20 inches and there is a maximum of 36 inches.  There is a one fish per day limit in Virginia. Hardy freshwater fishermen are catching some fine chain pickerel in ponds and at St. Mary's Lake.  Crappie are still hitting live minnows at St. Mary's. Thanks, Ken over at the tackle box for that report. Everyone has heard the phrase “Save the Bay” and my guess is many of us have a love/hate relationship with the term.   We all want to be responsible with our resource while at the same time being able to enjoy it and preserve it for future generations. So how can we as responsible anglers do both? How about by eating more fish? Sounds strange – it's not really.  Maryland waters are home to 3 invasive fish species and the best way to save the bay is going to involve harvesting those fish. They pose a wide array of problems for the Bay and Maryland waters. But the good news is these fish taste good! Let’s back up – an invasive species is non-native and has the potential to cause ecological harm to the environment where it doesn’t belong. Blue and flathead catfish were introduced in the 1960s to create a recreational fishing opportunity.   This was a common practice during that time period. Invasive species many times do not have natural predators so their number increase drastically. They tend to eat native fish or crabs and mussels and can spread viruses and pathogens. One such example is the largemouth bass virus and mycobacteria are found in parts of the Chesapeake Bay, but these pathogens could expand their ranges by hitchhiking along with the highly mobile northern snakehead.  When a new species enters a complex ecosystem like the Chesapeake Bay, the ecosystem can change in ways that threaten ongoing conservation or management efforts. MD DNR has launched many campaigns over the past fifteen years to encourage the public to fish and harvest these invasive fish.  This greater fishing pressure on these species will cause their numbers to decline.  However, both recreational anglers and commercial markets can be slow to develop and spreading the word of their tastiness takes time. Did you know blue catfish is now on the menu at most state institutions that have food service? Schools, universities, hospitals, and prisons are serving up blue catfish to help reduce their population. Now here’s where you come in... Fish more, eat more. Then do it again. Invasive fish can be harvested at any time of year, at any size and in any number.  You do still need to have legal fishing gear and have a fishing license.  And with snakehead – remember it is illegal to have a live northern snakehead in their possession. So for them, catch more, kill more, eat more, repeat. Snakehead may not be winning any beauty contests, but they’ll serve you well in a cooking contest. The fillets from these species are mild, flaky and generous. These fish are prized as food sources in their origin countries, so it should be no surprise that there are lots of recipes and recommendations for cooking the fillets. Strip the fillet from the body of the fish.  Use a fillet knife that has a thin, sharp and long blade that can be easily worked through the fish.  I use a towel to hold onto the fish’s head, making it easier to control during the filleting process.  Once you have a nice fillet you can fry and bake, sautéed and grilled, but my favorite is blackened. Or keep it simple and cook it in a lemon-infused olive oil.  If you have a favorite recipe share it!  Don’t be stingy – we all want to eat more invasive fish! Coming up next week let’s dig into what’s going on with bluefish numbers. I’d like to take a minute and thank all of our sponsors... JMJ Firearms in Mechanicsville https://www.jmjfirearmsllc.com/ Cavallaro Heath group of Remax in Prince Frederick https://cavallaroheath.com/ Modern Aire HVAC in Mechanicsville https://modernairellc.com/ Stoney’s Kingfisher Restaurant in Solomons http://stoneysseafoodhouse.com/kingfishers/ Scotts Cove Marina on Deal Island https://www.scottscovemarina.com/ Chesapeake Grill and Deli with locations in Dunkirk, Bowie and Rose Haven http://eatchesapeake.com/ Huntingtown Automotive in Huntingtown https://huntingtownautomotive.com/ Downtown Boat Show in Richmond coming up at the end of January https://www.downtownrichmondboatshow.com/ And Waterfront Marine in Edgewater https://www.waterfrontmarine.com/ Find us online at http://marylandfishingline.com And at http://coastalanglermag.com/chesapeake Want to send a fishing report?

On January 19, 1996, the North Cape oil barge ran aground at Moonstone Beach, spilling 820,000 gallons of oil into Rhode Island Sound. The resulting environmental damage was overwhelming. Save The Bay Advocacy Director Topher Hamblett joins the show to discuss the organization’s response to the 1996 North Cape oil spill, both on the shoreline and in the state house. Topher also discusses the push for a new climate resilience fund generated by an oil fee.

Every group of remarkable people has their headquarters, and Save The Bay is no exception. Save The Bay Executive Director Jonathan Stone and former Executive Director Curt Spalding join the show to discuss the history and significance of the organization’s beautiful headquarters in Providence, RI. They also discuss the construction of the facility’s new public access dock.

Hundred Acre Cove is a one-square-mile estuarine cove bordered by Rhode Island and Massachusetts on either side. Save The Bay must now negotiate across state lines to alleviate bacterial pollution that has closed the cove to shellfishing since the 1990s. Waterkeepers Mike Jarbeau and Kate McPherson join the show to discuss Save The Bay’s ongoing project to create a restoration plan. A successful project would benefit three watershed communities and set an example for similar collaboration projects in the future. This project is supported by the Southeast New England Program (SNEP) Watershed Grants. SNEP Watershed Grants are funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through a collaboration with Restore America’s Estuaries. For more on SNEP Watershed Grants, see www.snepgrants.org

Save The Bay’s education program runs more than 900 school programs every year and more than two dozen weeklong BayCamps each summer.

Funding secured.” That share price was about 20% above the stock’s trading price earlier that day.  According to the Wall Street Journal, the SEC is probing whether there was any factual basis to Musk’s tweet. If not, Musk may have violated securities regulations by giving false or misleading information to the public. It’s also looking into whether Musk’s tweet was designed to pump Tesla’s share price in advance of some $920 million in convertible bonds the company has coming due in March that the company may have to tap into its cash flow to pay down if it can’t raise the funds from investors.   New York City caps ride sharing licenses   The City of New York became the first U.S. city to cap the number of licenses it issues to ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft. The New York City Council voted 39-6 to approve the measure, which livery and yellow cab drivers hailed, as they’ve seen their hourly wages decline, as Uber and Lyft have increased their number of drivers from 25,000 to 80,000 over the last three years in the city. Uber and Lyft issued statements against the cap, saying that it would lead to an increase in fares. Lyft spokesman Joseph Okpaku said the move would specifically harm communities of color and passengers in the outer boroughs.   Tribune kills $3.9 billion Sinclair deal   Tribune Media has killed its $3.9 billion deal with Sinclair citing breach of contract. Tribune us arguing the 15-month deal has taken too long and that Sinclair has been too aggressive with regulators. The announcement came following the FCC’s 4-0 decision to refer the merger to an administrative law judge. It also came amidst a new class-action lawsuit brought by national advertisers and a DOJ investigation into whether Tribune and Sinclair colluded to fix advertising sales rates.   Instagram added more users than Snap’s total usership   Snapchat parent Snap Inc. reported a 2% drop in its monthly usership in the second quarter—its first reported decline since its founding in 2011--to about 188 million monthly users. Competitor Instagram’s monthly usership, on the other hand, now stands at 1 billion. This translated to a $353 million revenue loss for Snap, which was up by 2 percentage points in after-hours trading Monday to 12.57 per share.   Pentagon limits fitness devices in sensitive areas   Finding that fitness devices posed a “significant risk” to military personnel, the Pentagon issued an order last week restricting military personnel from wearing fitness tracking devices in sensitive locations. The new order allows commanders to decide whether to ban the devices in their specific area, based on the nature of the military activities happening there. For example, using tracking devices in training areas, such as Fort Hood, would be less of a concern than using the devices in less secure areas during military operations abroad. The new rule is a response to the fact that fitness app Strava publishes a Heatmap that shows where in the world its subscribers, including military personnel, have been exercising, which can shed light on classified troop movements. Facebook to require more information from page managers   Finally, Facebook announced a new authorization process for page managers that will make it more difficult for fake accounts to maintain Facebook pages. The new process will require page managers to secure their account with two-factor authentication. Facebook says it will also be more transparent about who manages each page by adding a “People Who Manage This Page” section. It will also show when pages have been merged. Facebook says it will begin enforcing the new standards later this month and eventually roll out the changes to Instagram as well.

For decades, the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay has been an under-the-radar advocate for America's best-known estuary and its tributaries. Nissa Dean and Meredeth Dash join us to talk about their group's novel approach to conservation and the unique niche it fills in the Bay cleanup landscape.

In this inaugural episode I catch up with an old friend - Capt. Eric - from Save The Bay. We talk about the mission of Save The Bay and his role there. We also talk about environmental stewardship for the boating public, and reminisce about some waterfront characters we both got to know working on Newport harbor (Rhode Island, USA). Oh and we have a beer and share a few laughs.

Almost wiped out centuries ago by fur trappers, beavers have made a comeback in North America, including the Mid-Atlantic and the Chesapeake Region. While many see them as a nuisance -- slayers of trees, builders of dams that flood roads and farm land -- biologists and natural resource managers see good in the beaver comeback. Their dams create rich habitat for other mammals and fish while filtering sediment and damaging nutrients from waters that flow to the Chesapeake Bay.On the show:- Frances Backhouse, a Canadian writer and author of, ----Once They Were Hats: In Search of the Mighty Beaver.----- Mike Callahan, founder of the Beaver Institute who has resolved more than 1400 conflicts between beavers and humans.- Scott McGill, founder and CEO of Ecotone, a Maryland-based ecological restoration company that is bullish on the beaver as a benefit to the environment.
