In episode 9, we explore the challenges fishermen face when reintegrating into their shore-based families after time away. We hear from a sleep and relationships expert about different sleeping strategies for fishing family couples, and from an organization that supports shore-based fishing partners.
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.
