Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The sustainable seafood movement has been working for two decades to improve fisheries and aquaculture through a variety of means to ensure, overall, a healthy ocean. However, after two decades, many of the issues originally identified (IUU fishing, human rights abuses, excessive environmental impacts, aquaculture escapes, lack of benefits to producers) still remain problematic. This lack of progress needs to be explored, and if current methods are deficient, then new approaches will be necessary. This Special Issue will address progress to date, evaluate current methods, and explore new approaches to ensure that we do not over-promise and under-deliver fisheries and aquaculture sustainability.
