Should people stop eating seafood?

There are certain species that have been overfished and that people should definitely avoid for environmental reasons. But I don't think we need to stop eating seafood altogether. I believe that we can 8 save the oceans while continuing to enjoy seafood. For example, some types of seafood, such as Alaskan salmon, come from well-managed fisheries. And others, such as farmed mussels and oysters, actually help to restore declining wild populations and clean up polluted waters.

What kind of seafood should people eat? What should they not eat?

My general advice is to eat fish and shellfish that are lower on the food chain and that can be harvested with little impact on the environment. Some examples include farmed mussels, clams and oysters, canchovies, sardines, and herring. People should not eat the bigger fish of the sea, like tuna, orange roughy, shark, sturgeon, and swordfish. Otherwise, we will face severe shortages of these species and upset the balance of life in the oceans.

Why did you choose to dedicate your life to the ocean?

I believe that the next great advance in human knowledge will come not from making new discoveries, but rather, from learning how we relate to our natural world. Humans are an essential part of nature, yet most humans do not have a very strong relationship with the world around them. I have dedicated myself to helping people understand our place on this planet through the foods that we eat.

Why do you believe people should care about the health of the oceans?

The health of the oceans is directly linked to the health of people. The ocean provides most of the air that we breathe. It has a big effect on the weather that we rely on for crops and food production. It also provides a necessary and vital diet for billions of people on the planet. So I don't usually say that I am trying to save the oceans. I prefer to say that I am trying to save the vital things that we rely on the ocean for.
