Out of Hot Water

Further explorations of queerness, access, and Land Back

Join SAGE’s analyst, Cameron Moore, as they embark on a journey through the complex intersections of fisheries, aquaculture, seafood, and conservation. This special three-part video series, made possible by the Environmental Defense Fund and the Sustainable Ocean Alliance, sheds light on the systemic barriers faced by Black, Brown, Indigenous, and queer communities living and working along the coast. Born from Cameron’s travels to Texas and Maine to record In Hot Water, A Climate and Seafood podcast series, which left them eager for deeper exploration, Out of Hot Water delves into critical themes of access, queerness, power dynamics, Indigenous sovereignty, and Land Back through heartfelt and intimate conversations.
