Fishermen in Maine have seen shrimp, oyster, and mussel populations rapidly disappear due to fluctuating water temperatures. As a result, their primary source of income is lobster - but that’s at risk as well.
Briana with Atlantic Sea Farms helps fishermen diversify their income with kelp farming. But she had to ask herself “How do you make the kelp industry look like the lobster industry so that lobstermen can participate?”
In this episode, Briana and I talk about the state of the lobster industry (as of October 2019), how kelp farming combats climate change, and why she is proud to be a Mainer (even though she can’t call herself one).
