I was recently interviewed for the Blue Frontier’s Rising Tide: The Ocean Podcast on how my experience working on commercial fishing boats has informed my journalism. Check out the episode on your favorite podcast app.
On the latest episode of the Rising Tide the Ocean Podcast, co-hosts David Helvarg & Natasha Benjamin dive deep with Nick Rahaim, a former commercial fisherman turned NOAA Public Affairs Officer (speaking on his own behalf). From intense squid fishing to high-stakes interactions between fishermen and whales in Alaska, Nick shares captivating stories and his unique perspective on marine life and environmental challenges.
Nick’s journey is truly remarkable—he’s an award-winning journalist, researcher, and Program Director for the Jiquilisco Bay Alliance, leading sustainable initiatives in El Salvador. His experience includes winning a Pulitzer Prize and logging nearly 1,500 days at sea across various fisheries from Southern California to the Bering Sea.
Check out Nick’s insights on ocean sustainability and the delicate balance between human activities and marine ecosystems.
