S1E11 - Susan Jackson - Conserving Fisheries and Shared Resources

Our conversation with Susan Jackson - president of the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) - was a fascinating dive into a world that few of us know much about - tuna fishing and conservation. While seemingly esoteric, this episode describes the many facets of a system that strives to conserve shared resources - a particularly challenging task when dealing with sovereign nations and independent companies where there is temptation to cheat. ISSF has built a multi-decades-long reputation for bringing competing stakeholders to the table and collaborating for the benefit of the collective good. As Jackson said in her TED talk, “Our method is broader than our niche.” Listen to learn more about this advancement in private sector multilateralism, and to get more back story on our seafood and the health of the oceans.
