Women break down barriers in New Hampshire’s small fishing and aquaculture industries

In this week's Made Here premiere, Tim Briggs and Haley McHatton explore the coastal New Hampshire fishing industry.

In the male-dominated industries of seafood and aquaculture, women have to work twice as hard to prove themselves. But in New Hampshire’s small fishing and aquaculture industries, women have broken down barriers and forged their own paths to success.

Women on the Water premieres on Vermont Public's PBS station at 8 p.m. on Thursday, October 9th, and is available now on demand.
