What this episode covers
Briana Warner, the owner of Atlantic Sea Farms, came to Maine after years as a development economist in the Foreign Service. She noticed that the kelp was gorgeous here in Maine, healthy and clean. Bri describes her craft as kelp, in general, and said, “the motivation behind it is mostly around looking at climate change along our coasts, and figuring out ways that crafts in one way or another can help the coast both adapt to and mitigate some of the effects of climate change.” Briana takes us on a journey through her career as she was a former diplomat for the U.S. Foreign Service and owned a bakery in Portland hiring refugees who are new to Maine. She also talks about the craft behind kelp and the impact it has on climate change. Not only do you get to know Bri, stay until the end of the episode to hear a special tune from Lady Lamb.
