Host: Tiegan Paulson Coastal Conversations: Conversations with people who live, work, and play on the Maine coast, hosted by the University of Maine Sea Grant Program. In recent years there have been some concerns that lobstering was headed for a string of seasons that produced lower landings, raising questions about the future. This month on Coastal Conversations, our student producer Tiegan Paulson will be talking with lobstermen and others about how to manage the lobster fishery to address changes. Coastal Conversations is supported by Maine Sea Grant in partnership with Schoodic Institute and The First Coast.
