Host: Kristin Zunino Coastal Conversations: Conversations with people who live, work, and play on the Maine coast, hosted by the University of Maine Sea Grant Program. In this episode of Coastal Conversations, we will hear the voices, story, and hopes for Downeast Maine’s changing marine ecology by professional certified scuba divers. This is the first episode of a two part series showcasing scuba divers’ unique perspective of the coastal environment as they are fully immersed in the underwater landscape. We are joined by six divers with a total of 222 years of dive experience in Maine. Our local divers tell us their observations and predictions of change in the Downeast region. Coastal Conversations is supported by Maine Sea Grant in partnership with Schoodic Institute and The First Coast.
