Read Part 1 of SI Jim Winter’s interview with Mike Kehoe @mike49.bsky.social of @coastalpeoplerpg.bsky.social & hear about his time working for the Gov’t of NL @govnl.bsky.social & in the fisheries industry navigating the fallout for anti-sealing activism.
Part 1: SI Jim Winter’s interview with Mike Kehoe of the Coastal People Resource Protection Group
On October 9th, 2025 “Seals, Stigma and Survival” secondary investigator Jim Winter, a retired award winning CBC journalist, conducted an interview with Mike Kehoe. Kehoe previously worked for the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador as a director of marketing support services navigating the province’s challenges with the fallout for anti-sealing activism on the fisheries industry. In his past roles Kehoe participated in backroom discussions with industry and government players across Canada, and engaged with local community members in rural and coastal Newfoundland and Labrador seeing in real-time the impacts of anti-sealing activism, federal and provincial responses and the first European ban (European Economic Community) on seal products in 1983 and activism against sealing thereafter.
