In an era of offshore oil, mega hydro dams, and now an impending wind energy industry — have we become indifferent to the fisheries? \n\nWhat we do hear about them seems so unrelatable: quotas and metric tons, prices per pound, licensing regulations. \n\nHow did something so important to our economy, and our identity, become so hard to understand?\n\nIn Episode 9 of berrygrounds we speak with award-winning journalists Jenn Thornhill Verma and Leila Beaudoin, who have teamed up with The Independent to create something that we didn't have in Newfoundland and Labrador: an explainer series about the fisheries and the sea.\nYou can find the Seasplainer series on The Independent's website.\nClick here to support The Independent with a monthly donation.\nThe song \"Sunsetter\" courtesy of Shane Ivers at Silverman Sound Studios.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/TmixHP1rYWE5BVzfU2-0CNKq-bvNypCqxYNqXZF0JvA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lMGI5/ODgxZDA4ODJmZmIw/NzBkMjg4OTgzZDEw/MmI2MC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
