My name is Sam and I have been a user of our coasts for almost all of my life, mostly through sailing, paddleboarding and swimming at Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland.
I am also a Chartered Marine Scientist and Environmentalist in my day job and I wanted to start this podcast to share people's coastal stories through their hobbies and work. I am particularly interested in ensuring the sustainable use of coasts, through protecting the environment, whilst balancing income for people and communities, and connecting people with nature through recreation.
