Fishing communities, climate change, and markets
Princeton’s Office of Communications wrote a lovely piece highlighting our fishing communities and climate change work, and also Fishadelphia: https://www.princeton.edu/news/2019/02/18/north-carolinian-boats-are-now-fishing-new-jerseys-coast.
Nice articles about Fishadelphia
Jenn Hall has written two relevant pieces this fall for us:
- This lovely article about Fishadelphia in Civil Eats: High school students run this dock-to-table sustainable seafood program.
- An ode to George Mathis, our clam and fish wrangler, in Edible Jersey: A day in the life of a bayman.
Check them out – Jenn did a great job of capturing the essence of the work in both stories.
I also got a nice shout-out in the Swarthmore College alumni bulletin: Casting a wide net.
