  • Lovely Listen

    Really lovely listen with great stories and insight. As a coastal person, it’s nice hearing about similar issues on other coasts and becoming more informed about the different, yet largely similar, environmental changes affecting creatures and populations inhabiting the surrounding areas. Thank you Sea Change!

  • So well done

    After hearing the fertilizer episode I had to leave a review. So often things are described as “complex” and yet they often are just not understood. I feel like I have a much greater understanding of the impact of what is happening. Thank you for your reporting. It’s valuable. Keep it up.!!

  • Agents of change

    This storytelling format is a values-driven look at where science is failing to build the future we need. By talking about what’s happening to our coasts and the communities dealing with coastal effects, we can sense the human dimension of the coastal management and applied science.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Losing Paradise
Q: What happened with House Bill 391 at the Louisiana Capitol?
The bill aimed to clarify public access to navigable waters but was defeated after strong opposition from landowners and oil companies, leaving the status quo and ambiguity intact.
Losing Paradise
Q: Why is public access to navigable waters such a contentious issue in Louisiana?
Because ownership of land that becomes water is disputed: landowners claim private rights over submerged land and minerals, while the state asserts public ownership of navigable waters and their beds, creating a legal and political battleground that is reinforced by economic interests in oil and gas.
Catching the Codfather
Q: Can you tell me about how you did ultimately get arrested?
The narrative explains how Rafael's business practices, including falsified documents and a cash-heavy operation, drew the attention of multiple federal agencies. Undercover agents posed as buyers, gathering evidence while Rafael explained his methods, which ultimately led to charges and his arrest as investigators pieced together the full extent of the operation.
Wetlands Radio: Part 2
Q: How do you balance immediate concerns with long-term coastal restoration goals?
It's a tightrope, requiring input from local communities to ensure broader support for projects.
Wetlands Radio: Part 2
Q: Can you talk about why these ambitious projects are so hard to get done?
There were multiple concerns including fisheries impacts, which became hurdles for implementing the project.
