Researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration visited Petersburg to take the pulse on climate change from the local fishing fleet. About a dozen fishermen came to discuss community resilience under a changing climate.
Lively discussion bounced off the walls of the Borough Assembly Chambers. For a weeknight in Petersburg, turnout is impressive. Fishermen young and old, wearing brown Xtratuf boots or button-downs, came to engage with the visiting scientists.
