Did you know the ocean contributes at least 50% of the world’s oxygen?
We often talk about what’s happening on the land in farming on the podcast - but what’s happening in the oceans, in both fishing and farming, also deserves our attention, as Alistair and I tease out in this show - the parralels are striking regarding what’s going on in both globally.
Alistair Allen has been an activist since he finished high school, working his way up to Captaining a Sea Shepherd ship and is now Antarctic and Marine Campaigner at the Bob Brown Foundation.
He’s also incredibly skilful at explaining the full picture of a ‘bad thing’ and all of the downstream effects harming people, animals and the planet. We talk:
Krill Fishing and the havoc it is wreaking on Antarctica and beyond
Ocean Current Slowdown and Why This Matters
Factory Farming of Salmon and the devastating impact in Tasmania and globally.
What we can all do to change both consumer habits and lend our signature and voice to these issues.
I hope you find this helps you understand the “factory fishing and farming” happening in our oceans, looking at these two different, yet connected, issues. I learned SO MUCH.
