In part II of our sleep series, we learn more about how sleep (or lack thereof) influences our decision-making abilities in high-risk scenarios. We also hear from a Bristol Bay fisherman about the realities of a sleep deprived fishery, and how recovery becomes harder as fishing fleets age.
The Fishing Forward is a podcast inspired by fishermen, for fishermen, featuring discussions from scientific experts and fishermen on health, safety, and staying shipshape in the commercial fishing industry. Fishing Forward funded and produced by the Northeast Center for Occupational Health and Safety, and by the Coastal Routes Radio team at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada and at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Fishing Forward is hosted by Dr. Hannah Harrison (@fishpeopleplace) at Dalhousie University and Dr. Philip Loring (@ConserveChange) at the University of Guelph.
