Net Your Problem: Upcycling Fishing Gear with Nicole Baker

Happy Earth Day! Today we're sharing a conversation with someone who inspires us with their work to keep our oceans clean. Nicole Baker is the founder of Net Your Problem, a program dedicated to upcycling fishing gear around the world. Nicole is a former North Pacific groundfish fisheries observer who became actively involved in looking for a way to recycle fishing nets from Unalaska and since 2015 has been working with commercial fisherman with nets to get rid of, and with recyclers who will take them!  SS: For those who don’t know, what is Net Your Problem and what is the mission behind it? NB: Net Your Problem's mission is to engage a variety of stakeholders and partners to create an economically viable pathway to recycle end of life fishing gear, improve waste management, contribute to the circular economy, and reduce energy use
