Future Tides reports on maritime innovation and the future of the maritime community in Washington state and the Pacific Northwest.
News from Future Tides is intended to benefit all who share the region’s waterways from recreational boaters to professional mariners and those who are simply “boat curious.”
In 2021, Cara joined the second cohort of CUNY’s Entrepreneurial Journalism Creators program. Her curiosity about the maritime community and all those hours working near, and then in, a newsroom finally converged. The resulting media venture, Future Tides, launched with an email newsletter in October 2021.
