About Sustainable Fisheries UW

The science of sustainable seafood, explained. Our mission is to communicate the science, policies, and human dimensions of sustainable fisheries. Seafood is delicious, nutritious, and complicated. Fisheries are extractive, yet renewable. They are largely threatened by climate change and ocean acidification, yet eating fish instead of other animal protein would reduce carbon emissions. Fisheries are a common pool resource—the ocean is not private property—making management both fascinating and complex. We hope you enjoy learning about the intricacies of seafood as much as we like writing about it. We were founded by a group of fishery scientists led by Dr. Ray Hilborn. We are run by a small staff, all of who have advanced degrees in some element of fisheries. All of our posts, features, and editorials are edited and fact checked by experts.
