#6. Building a global alliance for sustainable seafood and Whole Foods’ lionfish fillet
In this episode, we refocus on the importance of our marine ecosystems, and explore the global need for a more sustainable commercial fishing industry with Ana Chang. Ana is the International Liason at the Tokyo-based firm Seafood Legacy. In this role, she advocates for a more robust sustainable seafood industry by working with stakeholders to shape global fishery markets and regulations.
We discuss with Ana the destructive impact out-of-sight and out-of-mind commercial fishing operations can have on sea life, workers, and the local community. We also dissect key ways in which businesses and governments can begin to advocate for and adopt more responsible seafood standards. Additionally, we discuss how businesses are promoting sustainable seafood options, including Whole Foods’ recent campaign to bring the invasive lionfish to the plates of its loyal customer base.
