Episode Description from the Publisher

As the cause of climate change mitigation loses favor in the White House, reducing risks from global warming has fallen to local communities. In New England, organizations like the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) are taking matters into their own hands. Host Monica de Bolle is joined by Glenn Prickett (GMRI), who describes how his organization helps lobster farmers, coastal communities, and the city of Portland develop tools to reduce the damage from overfishing, higher sea temperatures, and rising sea levels. This podcast is produced by the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Music by Baegel/When I Hop/Courtesy of Epidemic Sound. Download the episode transcript here.
