James Arthur Smith is a dedicated surfer, yachtsman, and the founder of Seatopia. He has spent the last eight years immersing himself in the aquaculture industry by personally visiting farms, eating the feed the fish eat, diving under the grow-out pens, and testing the harvested products in the lab. His passion for the ocean led him to live aboard a sailboat for ten years, sailing the Eastern Pacific coastline from San Francisco, California, to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.

James is on a mission to deliver the best certified clean seafood to you which will grow a sustainable aquaculture seafood supply chain and help heal the blue planet.
