How To Protect The Ocean

Who Decides How Much Fish Ends Up on Your Plate?


Listen Later

Most people assume fisheries are either working or failing, but very few people know how the system actually works. In this episode, I break down the hidden process behind fishing limits, stock assessments, political negotiations, and the science that shapes what ends up on your plate.

You will learn why fisheries management can go wrong, what happens when countries ignore the science, and how better systems like harvest rules and stronger accountability can help fisheries recover. This episode also sets up tomorrow's interview with Susan Jackson from ISSF, where we will reveal just how far tuna fisheries have come.
