Social FISHtancing - Episode 16 - Working Waterfronts

In this episode, we take a visit down to the shore to hear stories about working waterfronts, and the important role they play in supporting coastal livelihoods and keeping seafood on our plates. In this episode, we talk to: Monique Coombs of the Maine Coast Fisherman's Association (www.mainecoastfishermen.org/) Melissa Collier of West Coast Wild Scallops (www.wildscallops.ca) Anthony Cobb of Fogo Island Fish (www.fogoislandfish.ca) Carson Minor of Lincoln Fisheries out of Port Colborne, Ontario.
