Last Word: Fisherman’s Blues
This fall, North Carolina Sea Grant co-sponsored “Radical Transformation of Our Seas: Stories from Fisherman’s Blues,” an event to explore global views of fishing and seafood. Author Anna Badkhen read from her new book, an intimate account of life in a West African fishing village. Ryan Speckman, co-founder of Locals Seafood in Raleigh, joined her to help compare experiences on the Atlantic's east and west coasts. Jane Harrison, North Carolina Sea Grant's coastal economics specialist, moderated the discussion.
