Welcome to Season Two of Perna Content’s podcast—now called Rising Tides: Adapting to Coastal Maine’s Future with host Bill Perna - based on his latest book of the same name.

In Season Two, hear interviews with marine biologists, ninth-generation fishermen, oyster growers, pioneers, entrepreneurs—you name it. All of them are working hard to shape the future of Maine’s coast. People like Bill Mook, Jeff Auger, Abigail Barrows, Dana Morse, Ben Martens among others.

What ties them together is a deep love of what makes Maine, Maine and a drive to meet big challenges—with smart, innovative solutions. The Gulf of Maine is one of the fastest-warming bodies of water on the planet. That brings serious risks—but also sparks innovation and resilience.

These are global issues, just told through local stories— stories about saving working waterfronts, strengthening the coastal economy, and keeping Maine’s communities vibrant.
