    Waterside Chat with Jamie Workman

    Jamie Workman joined host and Marine Fish Conservation Network Executive Director Tom Sadler for an online Waterside Chat on January 8, 2026. Jamie is an author, advocate and communicator whose work has focused on water and our relationship with it. His books include Heart of Dryness and the new Sea Change: Unlikely Allies and a Success Story of Oceanic Proportions. In a wide-ranging discussion, Jamie and Tom talked about: How Jamie’s reporting helped stop a Disney theme park because there wasn’t enough water availableHow catch-share systems make fishing safer and encourage long-term stewardshipWhy such rights-based approaches to fisheries can build trust and confidence among people who would otherwise be fighting with each other, providing a model that can work in many places where people compete for scarce, depletable resourcesHow scientists, advocates and fishermen can move from an adversarial to a symbiotic, collaborative relationshipAnd of course, much more!

Tim and Waterside Chat host Tom Sadler talked about Tim’s conservation journey, his work with SalmonState, the campaigns SalmonState has going on, and what the next few years with a new congress and administration may entail. They covered: Why fishing with his father — and a childhood close to infamous Superfund site Love Canal — directed Tim towards conservationHow recognition of the recreational value of forests helps us move away from logging-first and towards a mix of uses, including tourism, water quality, Native Alaskan subsistence AND loggingHow SalmonState, as a group of communicators, connectors and conveners, brings together abroad swath of communities, salmon markters, indigenous communities, commercial fishermen and moreThe importance of illustrating stories in a way that’s evocative — “The showing rather than telling is critical”Why bycatch is a massive threat to Alaska salmon, and why restraining it is not an easy problem to solveThe importance of the Tongass, America’s “salmon forest”, whose economic value for fishing far outstrips the value that would be realized from logging or road-buildingUpdates on mining activity that threatens Alaska salmon runs, including new uncertainty under the current administrationAnd of course, much much more!
