Tuesday, 16 June, 2026
Send us Fan MailTwo Maine scallop farms are betting on two different futures: one building a premium shucked-meat business, the other building a market for whole, live scallops — a market that depends on testing infrastructure more fragile than it looks.In this episode of Rising Tides, Bill Perna talks with Dana Morse, whose work on Maine's scallop farming industry stretches back to early research trips to Japan and years of applied science that helped develop the growing techniques behind both these businesses. His story is part history, part economics, and part open question about what comes next for the people growing Maine's newest crop.Perna Content's Rising Tides explores how coastal Maine is adapting to environmental, economic, and cultural change through long-form conversations with people working on and alongside the water. New episodes are released fortnightly.The podcast accompanies the book Rising Tides: Adapting to Maine’s Coastal Future, available at www.pernacontent.com/publishing
