Lord tells stories of women’s experiences as oyster producers

Natalie Lord has launched the new website, A Rising Tide?, highlighting women’s experiences as oyster producers. The project is the first case study to analyze gender in Maine and New Hampshire's aquaculture industry through visual storytelling. Its goal is to share the photographic and narrative data the research participants collected on their experiences owning and operating an oyster farm in Maine and New Hampshire. Explore the site to discover the stories of four women oyster farmers and learn why it's important to study women in aquaculture.
