Did you know that farmed fish can actually be healthier than wild-caught? In this episode, we explore the evolving world of seafood. From supply chain challenges to why wild-caught isn’t always the best choice, we dive into the innovative approaches of regenerative aquaculture and extensive fish farming.

Join us as guest James Arthur Smith shares his mission to heal the ocean and improve your health through sustainable seafood in today’s episode on Seatopia.

James Arthur Smith is a dedicated surfer, yachtsman, and founder of Seatopia. For the past eight years, he’s immersed himself in the aquaculture industry—visiting farms, diving under grow-out pens, analyzing feed, and testing fish in labs. His decade spent sailing the Pacific coastline inspired a mission to deliver clean-certified seafood while protecting the ocean.

James now leads Seatopia in building a transparent, sustainable seafood supply chain that helps consumers eat better while supporting the health of our blue planet.
