The Sustainable Angler The Sustainable Angler

I am thrilled to share my interview with Chris Crolley, who is the CEO of Coastal Expeditions and Founder of the Coastal Expeditions Foundation. Chris is a naturalist and storyteller, and in this episode, we discuss everything from the Lowcountry’s barrier island ecology, environmental threats to our paradise in the Lowcountry, and the importance of education in solving many of our environmental problems. As Chris says, “educate, commit to doing the work, become inspired and take action!” I hope you enjoy this episode!

I am also super stoked to share that The Sustainable Angler is officially a 1% for the Planet member, so 1% of all merchandise and sponsorships will be donated to environmental nonprofits!

In this episode of The Sustainable Angler, I interview Jeff Wagner, who is the CEO of Mayfly Outdoors, which is the parent company of Abel, Ross Reels, Airflo, and the recently acquired Dyna-King. We discuss everything from how Jeff got started in the fly fishing industry, to what it means to be a B-Corp; how Ross Reels has partnered with Trout Unlimited in an effort to restore native trout species throughout the U.S.; how Airflo has partnered with Terracycle to create a fly line and plastic recycling program which are free to any fly shop and helps keep plastics circular; how good sustainability projects benefit people, the planet and profits, and why they still pursue sustainability projects that may only benefit people and the planet; and of course we talk a little fishing!

Special thanks to Jeff, and Mayfly Outdoors, for all they are doing to protect what we love, and thank you for taking the time to listen to the show.

In this interview, we discuss everything from the outdoor state and consumers demanding sustainability, trends in sustainable packaging, and some innovative solutions such as packaging made from mushrooms and seaweed that Atlantic Packaging and A New Earth Project are bringing to market.
