EP 64. Eddie Nickens

Hunters and anglers have a long history of fighting for access, protection and the conservation of America’s bountiful natural resources, and today, our fisheries face multiple threats from overfishing, nutrient pollution, plastic pollution, habitat degradation, and climate change. In this episode I interview T. Edward Nickens, who is a New York Times best-selling author and award-winning journalist that I am lucky to call a friend. We discuss Eddie’s writing background and new biography of Flip Pallot, environmental threats to our fisheries, the power of storytelling to effect change, and what you can you do as an individual to protect what you love.Be sure to check out the website, www.TheSustainableAngler.com to read blog posts, get caught up on previous episodes and show your support for the podcastThe Sustainable Angler is available anywhere you listen to podcasts, and also airing Saturday’s at 2 PM on Charleston's first and only community supported radio station, Ohm Radio, 96.3 FM.The Sustainable Angler podcast is brought to you by Emerger Strategies, and A New Earth Project - The Sustainability Initiative of Atlantic Packaging.Special thanks to Eddie for everything he is doing to protect what we all love!
