Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 109. The Reality of Sustainable Aquaculture
Q: What does sustainability mean at Baja Aqua Farms on a day-to-day basis?
Sustainability is framed around responsible use of natural resources, maintaining ecosystem health, and ensuring future resource availability, while aligning with Brundtland principles and focusing on welfare and ecosystem services.
Ep 109. The Reality of Sustainable Aquaculture
Q: What does Baja Aqua Farms produce and where does it sit in the global seafood market?
Baja Aqua Farms is a bluefin tuna ranching operation that captures wild tuna, feeds them with locally sourced sardines and anchovies, and harvests for export and domestic markets, positioning itself between traditional fishing and aquaculture in a niche market.
Ep 107. Tradition, Truth & the Seaweed Boom
Q: What changes do you see in the industry for the better, or has anything regressed?
Chefs in Canada and beyond are incorporating seaweed into regular menus, and there's growing consumer interest, but sustainability and proper harvesting practices remain crucial to prevent overexploitation.
Ep 107. Tradition, Truth & the Seaweed Boom
Q: How did you go from Coastal Life to becoming synonymous with Dulse?
I pivoted when lobster catches declined; I kept working on the water and at a funeral home, then expanded into harvesting and processing seaweed, building a brand around the local resource.
Ep 107. Tradition, Truth & the Seaweed Boom
Q: Lorne, people know you as the Dulse Man, but what does that actually mean day to day?
It depends on tides, weather, and season, with peak activity from May to October. I juggle harvesting, supporting my family, and supplying retail stores and chefs with dulse and other seaweeds.
