His efforts across Canada have earned him strong recognition among his peers at the American Fishery Society, and has made Angler Atlas the top source for fish health data across Canada. Sean speaks with host Lawrence Gunther about the challenges of recruiting and retaining volunteers, and the collection of consistent quality data. The two also discuss the shortcomings of databases and how large language modelling and artificial intelligence might someday resolve the issue of cross-database compatibility. Listen to this episode of The Blue fish Radio Show and find out what it will take to break down barriers between water quality and fish health experts, and how to adopt a more holistic approach to assessing watershed health.
