Dr Adrian Gutteridge is a Fisheries Assessment Manager with the Marine Stewardship Council. With MSC's "Sustainable Seafood Week" happening in a couple weeks, we thought it'd be a super time to talk with Adrian about whether eating wild-caught fish is 'sustainable', and what MSC does to improve the sustainability of the seafood industry. As we discuss, however, one group's idea of 'sustainable' may not agree with that of an 'angry vegan'. Truth bombs guaranteed.

This is a two-part conversation, with the second (and final) part released next week.

Jeremy and Brad catch-up to discuss the latest happenings in protecting our oceans and waterways from plastic pollution, including a review of Boyan Slat's "Ocean Cleanup" project and "Interceptor" technology (released just this week) - and whether Boyan really is "turning off the tap" of ocean plastic pollution. We also have a quick chat about the recent media attention around PFAS contamination (and associated class action) in Australia, and get the latest vegan news ;)
