LESS THAN 1 HOUR FOR EPISODE 2 OF
#whatseatingamerica! “Me, my dad and my older brother would catch a boatload of oysters which would be 15 or 16 wheelbarrows,” former oysterman Ricky Banks reminisces in the second episode of What’s Eating America. Ricky grew up on Apalachicola Bay, which was once the ideal habitat for oysters with its perfect mix of saltwater from the gulf and freshwater from the rivers. Nowadays, folks are lucky to pull a dozen legal oysters during a day on the water -- thanks to the impact of climate change. The loss of wild oysters has decimated the local economy and the livelihoods of locals like Ricky. He now ekes out a living as a hunting and fishing guide: “I’m a chameleon. I changed to what I had to.” That’s the reality of life in the era of climate change.
