EP 13. American Water Security Project's Dr. Peter Barile & Terry Gibson Dec 20, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of The Sustainable Angler Podcast, I interview Dr. Peter Barile and Terry Gibson from the American Water Security Project. As you probably already know, Florida is facing major water issues, but what you might not know, is that many of the water problems our country is facing are directly related to sewage and wastewater infrastructure upgrades and repairs. As our population continues to grow, so does our need for more thoughtful planning. We also discuss how climate change is directly related to the water issues that are negatively affecting our fisheries. Very educational interview, and I personally learned a lot from Peter and Terry. Hope you enjoy!
