The full episode of Of Among the Islands that features Marden and his son Bob is now available on YouTube. Go check it out and listen to Marsden explain what inspired this third generation lobsterman to go halfway around the world to Japan to learn how to grow sea scallops in a way that benefits both your table and the bay.
Just listening to this modest, honest, far-sighted man telling the story in his straightforward way will give you hope. These days that's a valuable commodity!
