But a tool that can drive real change is “calling someone IN” or engaging them in a deeper discussion where there’s room for questions and introspection.

So join us on Season 4, Episode 10 of The Conch podcast to hear Cameron Moore, SAGE’s Program Assistant, share on how we can call people IN to create an inclusive, diverse seafood sector built for everyone! 

And if you’re curious about… 

  • How do you petition a National Park to make ranger outfits more equitable for people of all genders? 

  • What’s it like being vegan while working in the seafood industry?
