Happy Memorial Day! On this special episode recorded the morning of Memorial Day, hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham chat the importance and meaning of the Memorial Day holiday on the American Shoreline before turning their attention to the ocean and coastal communication landscape. It is increasingly recognized that there exists a weak link in how we educate and communicate with the public. The social and scientific realities of the ocean and coast are complex, and so too are our stories.  That's where CNT & ASPN come in. By developing a centralized media platform for the ocean and coast we have fostered a de-siloed conservation that has explored the four corners of the space, and much of whats in between. From science and exploration to social justice and culture, CNT & ASPN have laid the foundation for the complex story telling that lies in our future. Now we need to make it better! Please support our work! This summer, we seek to raise funds to take CNT & ASPN to the next level. If you value the work we are doing, be sure to pass this show along to the right people and tell them to make your company or organization a sponsor today!
