Pt 1: Go From Disinformation Overload to Honest Data Studies to Help Your Mental Health and Fishery w/ Journalist and International Media Analyst Gabriela Capestany

Looking out for our mental wellness takes many forms, and communication and the information we receive daily are huge parts of that. 

As many know, communication is a major problem for POCFs when connecting with their fishermen at sea. Yet it is also a major challenge for fishing communities, scientists, environmentalists, government officials, and academics to understand each other's goals. This is where our next guest comes in.

Gabriela Capestany is a journalist and media analyst based in Charleston, SC, with a diverse journalistic background, including acting as a media advisor for the US military and NATO members at United States European Command USEUCOM.

One of her gifts is making abstract and complex subjects relatable, making sense of information online, communicating between industry, science, and audiences, and sifting through information online and on social media.
