Making a Living on Maine Waters #198

Many Mainers make their living on the water. Today we speak with two individuals who are doing so in very unique ways. Abigail Carroll is the founding farmer of Nonesuch Oysters, which is located in a nature conservancy in Scarborough; Jon Keller is a writer whose latest book, Of Sea and Cloud, was inspired by years of experience working in the secluded lobstering culture of rural Maine.

Jon Keller

Jon Keller’s latest book Of Sea and Cloud was inspired by years of experience working in the secluded lobstering culture of rural Maine. Keller now lives year-round on a sailboat off the coast of Maine, but he typically returns to the Montana backcountry to guide each fall.  Between the mountains and the sea, he’s made a lifestyle out of working in and writing about traditional labors and the disappearing cultures that surround those labors.
