Program Description
Tom Jefferies is a bayman in Freeport, NY, who comes from a long line of fishermen on both sides of his family. His family owns a bay house, where he learned to harvest clams, crabs, mussels and other species in the nearby bay waters. He worked on trawler boats and in the bay, so that he can support himself as a full time fisherman. Tom is very conservation oriented, both for environmental reasons and also so that he can continue to work on the water. In this program he discusses the traditional ways of making a living from the water, how things have changed, as well as how environmental changes, including Superstorm Sandy, have affected him and other Long Island fishermen. The program incorporates current events including climate change and recent major storms. It promotes active listening, communication, and engaged learning.
