Coastal Conversations Radio Program: Aquaculture, Part I

Coastal Conversations Show: July 26, 2024

Host: Annie Fagan, Maine Sea Grant

What does aquaculture look like in your community? This is Annie Fagan from the University of Maine Sea Grant, host of Coastal Conversations. This summer, we’re diving into aquaculture with a two-part series in July and August. This month, we’ll hear from Morgan Fogg of Nautical Farms and Kim Grindle of Islesboro Oyster Company about running a small business and navigating the joys and challenges of ocean farming. We’ll also hear from Lisa White, aquaculture program and outreach coordinator for the Maine Department of Marine Resources. Lisa will share about the process farmers go through to apply for their farm sites, and how you, as a member of the public, can weigh in. Join us, and tune in on Friday, July 26th at 4PM for this month’s Coastal Conversation. Only on WERU community radio at 89.9 FM and streaming online at WERU.org. Coastal Conversations is supported by Maine Sea Grant in partnership with Schoodic Institute and The First Coast.
