What do year-round island communities in Maine, the Chesapeake Bay and the Great Lakes have in common? Their working waterfronts are crucial for the island’s future.
This is Natalie Springuel, from the University of Maine Sea Grant, host of Coastal Conversations. On our next program, we will hear stories from island-based working waterfront communities in Maine and around the country.
The show was produced with the help of College of the Atlantic students who travelled to a national symposium about working waterfronts where they interviewed fishermen, island residents, municipal officials and others.
So make a note to tune in Friday morning, November 23, when this month’s Coastal Conversations shares stories from the nation’s working waterfronts.
Only on WERU community radio, 89.9 FM in Blue Hill and 99.9 in Bangor, and online at WERU.org.
