Tidal Change: Love, Hope and Wonder at Sea

Listen to Alaska’s commercial fishers talk about signs of climate change in the places where they live and work.

We all love stories from the sea. Abundance. Hope. Wonder. People who work on Alaska’s fishing boats see it all up close. We wanted to know more about how captains and crews on commercial fishing boats are experiencing signs of change in the places where they live and work, so we sat down to listen. We were impressed with what we heard. 

Now, Tidal Change is a podcast. Listen on Apple podcasts, Google podcasts, Podbean and Spotify. Our pilot episode is live and we invite you to listen in on these long-form conversations.

Also, scroll down on this page to hear their stories of changing seas in a set of shorter recordings, available for listening exclusively on this page. 

We’re pleased to amplify these voices of experience because they deserve a place in Alaska’s larger conversation about climate change. The Nature Conservancy believes that talking openly about the impacts and opportunities that Alaskans are experiencing as a result of climate change—in the Gulf of Alaska, in Bristol Bay, in Prince William Sound, in Cook Inlet and beyond—will help our state craft the most robust response. It’s key in securing a future in which both people and nature thrive, on land and at sea.

These Tidal Change interviews were recorded in our soundproof studio booth at the Pacific Marine Expo trade show in Seattle, Washington, in November, 2018.
