In an era of offshore oil, mega hydro dams, and now an impending wind energy industry — have we become indifferent to the fisheries? What we do hear about them seems so unrelatable: quotas and metric tons, prices per pound, licensing regulations. How did something so important to our economy, and our identity, become so hard to understand?In 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.You can find the Seasplainer series on The Independent's website.Click here to support The Independent with a monthly donation.The song \"Sunsetter\" courtesy of Shane Ivers at Silverman Sound Studios.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ZcFzpAfoB0wa0BK3z4IE5-x-w12PB_MmnxESL-5Hr8s/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM3OTQyLzE2NzQ3/NDMyNzktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
