Closing the gap between fishery science, seafood industry & end consumers with Pescatourism 

[2:00] Emily's journey and association with seafood go back to her roots and how as a Fishery Scientist and Sustainable Seafood Advocate, she is challenging the narrative of "there is no way to consume food from the ocean sustainably".


[7:00] Pescatourism is about seafood travel where you get to know a culture through its seafood and many more!

[9:00] Sustainability starts with awareness. Just like in agritourism people try and discover the source of food or how that is grown, similarly in seafood tourism (or pescatourism) 

[12:00] "Oceans" which is for most people out of sight out of mind. However, we certainly cannot survive without oceans and so for all seafood lovers (or even if you do not consume), Emily shares tips on how we can fix our acts together and be more responsible


[14:00] How accurate is Seaspiracy? - seafood interestingly has the lowest impact on the environment when fishery science is applied in the right way.

[17:45] Top 3 tips on seafood tourism

[21:20] ] Next for Emily - more tours with explorations of seafood restaurants, Oyster farms and their natural homes, and many more
