Our Podcast: For Shore
For Shore is a podcast about our coasts and oceans, hosted by Sea Grant. When you listen, you’ll hear from experts, including scientists, fishermen, community leaders, resource managers, and others, working on topics critical to Sea Grant’s mission. This first season features researchers that the Northeast Sea Grant Consortium funded to look into how coastal communities are potentially impacted by the introduction of new oceanic industries. Fishermen, in particular, are grappling with changes to their industry and the environment they work in. We’re here to have candid conversations that help make marine science and policy accessible and understandable to all - and that includes you.
Episodes will be released through early April, 2026. Stay tuned for more!

Get in Touch
Sea Grant plays a unique role in bridging science and community engagement.
To do so, we are a neutral entity. We value our non-partisan approach to our work, because it allows us to work with all communities, facilitate sometimes tough conversations, and bring people together to find solutions to difficult challenges.
However, we’ll be vulnerable with you, and say that navigating some complex topics while remaining neutral can be hard. So please have some grace with us, and grace with each other as we listen and learn together. As we go, we might come up with more questions to pursue, and you might have some as well. Please reach out, we’d love to hear from you!
