The Boston Globe's David Abel Reports from the Maine Coast

On this episode, hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham reconnect with David Abel, an award winning journalist and filmmaker, to check in on the the pulse of the Maine coast heading into 2022. David has been covering the ongoing saga between the state's lobster industry and the federal government's Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan, which would impose new regulations intended to help avert the extinction of the North Atlantic Right Whale. What began as a harmonious effort, has now descended into quagmire.  David Abel is an award-winning reporter on the Globe staff since 1999, David Abel has covered war in the Balkans, unrest in Latin America, national security issues in Washington D.C., terrorism in New York and Boston, and climate change and poverty in New England. Abel, also a documentary filmmaker and an occasional professor of journalism, was part of the team that won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News for the paper’s coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings. He now covers the environment for the Globe.
