Pete Halmay, commercial fisherman

Our first guest is Pete Halmay, commercial sea urchin diver and President of the San Diego Fishermen’s Working Group. We have a wide ranging (and at times salty) conversation about fishing to feed his community, gentrification of the waterfront, the importance of fishermen retaining control over their catch, and his responsibility to future generations of fishermen.

Kate Masury, seafood donations

Kate Masury is the Executive Director of Eating with the Ecosystem, a Rhode Island-based non-profit promoting a place-based approach to sustaining New England's wild seafood. I speak with Kate about their seafood donation program, initiated in response to growing food insecurity and loss of fishermen's access to markets in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. She gives an overview of what's being caught in New England, what's being eaten in New England, and how we can better align the two, starting with Rhode Island's Indigenous, immigrant, and refugee communities.
