This week the film Seaspiracy debuted and created ripples in the ocean conservation movement. In good and bad ways. It is important that we are critical of films we watch and that is what we are doing today with Emily De Sousa, a fisheries scientist who worked in sustainable fishing. You can follow Emily on Instagram here and I highly recommend you do so, she shared incredible information on sustainable living and eating seafood.
Check out Emily's sustainable seafood guide here! Emily also has an Amazon book list of books on fisheries and seafood that you can check out.
