In this episode of the American Shoreline Podcast, hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham unravel the innovative approach of the Island County Marine Resources Committee with Dr. Jill Lipoti and Patrick Havel. Delve into how the committee is revolutionizing the way local voices are incorporated into pivotal decisions affecting the ocean and coast. Could this be the future template for other regions across the American shoreline? With a rich blend of sustainability knowledge and global scientific expertise, Jill and Patrick advocate for a fresh, community-centric model in marine resource management that might just set the precedent for other regions to follow.
