Welcome to Volume II of Coastal Routes Radio programming - Coastal Connections: Stories from the Atlantic! In this inaugural episode, we are presented with persuasive evidence of why ‘the local’ is the place to research and work on coastal and marine issues - and to share stories of building coastal community resilience, no matter what your background.

This week we hear from three different perspectives on working at the local level:
Dr. Melanie Wiber at the University of New Brunswick (https://www.unb.ca/faculty-staff/directory/arts-fr-anthropology/wiber-melanie.html)
oLobster Node Inc.: https://doi.org/10.1139/cjfas-2016-0426
Fishers representative Lillian Mitchell for the Fundy North Fishermen’s Association (www.fundynorth.org)
Fisher, consultant and fisher-scientist Darren Porter (https://www.facebook.com/darren.porter.737)
oMINAS(https://www.facebook.com/MINASscience/)
