Barb’s reporting focuses on the Canadian seafood industry, particularly around issues related to fisheries, aquaculture, and the business of seafood. She appears to heavily rely on government announcements and press releases for her coverage.
Given her extensive use of government announcements and press releases, she may be interested in receiving pitches that provide additional context or analysis beyond what is provided by official sources. Additionally, experts with insights into the Canadian seafood industry's business aspects or its intersection with climate change could offer valuable perspectives for her articles.
As Barb has a specific geographic focus on Canada (particularly Newfoundland), relevant local stakeholders involved in the seafood industry may find success reaching out to her with updates or unique stories from their region.
