Aloha y'all! In this episode of The Sustainable Angler I interview author and angler Dylan Tomine. We discuss everything from what a good day of steelheading looks like; to environmental threats to steelhead, such as climate change and hatcheries, which brings up a topic I've never thought about, which is how is South Carolina's redfish hatcheries impacting our own fishery; to his newly release book, Headwaters: The Adventures, Obsession, and Evolution of a Fly Fisherman. I've had the opportunity to read Headwaters, and it is an excellent read for anglers, no matter where you are on your angling evolution.

EP 44. The Sustainability Institute Executive Director Bryan Cordell Jan 21, 2022

Show notes

When I first moved to Charleston I was looking for a way to get plugged in to the sustainability scene and I was introduced to The Sustainability Institute (SI) and have been a fan and supporter of their work ever since then. Bryan Cordell is SI's leader and Executive Director who has been at the forefront of sustainability in Charleston for a couple of decades now. The Sustainability Institute is a nonprofit that promotes resilient & equitable communities while building the next level of conservation leaders. SI is able to accomplish their mission through three major programs, including: Charleston RISES, which is a green building/high performance building certification; weatherization projects for low-income families; and the Environmental Conservation Corps, which is an innovative and award-winning program affiliated with AmeriCorps (The Corps Network) that provides individuals the opportunity to serve their communities while learning new skills and gaining new experience in the field of environmental conservation.
