Aquademia: The Seafood Podcast

Shaun and Justin, with guests Dr. Halley Froehlich, Maddie Cassidy and Avery Siciliano, discuss what the word "sustainable" really means, and the vast amount of factors that go into a product's sustainability.

This episode covers the tragedy of the commons, sustainability of fisheries, why the lobster industry can serve as a role model, and the impact of social accountability and human rights within sustainability issues.

Organizations that are doing it right with positive efforts on the ground:

• Best Aquaculture Practices
• Humanity United
• Liberty Shared
• International Justice Mission

Climate Change is a controversial topic, but whatever your beliefs are surrounding it, the fact is that temperatures are rising, and food systems have a big connection with that change.

We need to figure out how we are impacting climate change, and what changes can be made to reduce that impact.

This episode touches on climate change basics, ocean acidification, food production alternatives, such as aquaculture, and we WE, as seafood lovers, can do TODAY to start making a change.

Experts who share their insight in this episode include GAA Executive Director Andrew Mallison and NCEAS Postdoc Halley Froehlich.

This week, Aquademia has two guests on the show: Joe Lasprogata and Bill Bradford, both of Samuels and Son Seafood. Bill is the host of Samuels Seafood's brand new seafood podcast, MONGER.

Hear about Joe and Bill's history, what inspired their podcast, and about Samuels and Son Seafood. We get into recent advancements in aquaculture and how Samuels plans to use them in the future.

"People don't realize how much of seafood is aquaculture. That's why it's so available, so high quality, it's consistently priced...Do some research yourself. Once you understand the product, you can start understanding organization like Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP), because it's very complex. You have to continually educate yourself. It's complicated, but it's very important and very worthwhile."

"In an odd way and in a good way, because aquaculture took so much heat over the years, they are more cognizant of what's going on. Now when you go to a farm or a site, they're very transparent, they're doing everything right."

Shaun and Justin sit down with Karim Kurmaly, CEO of Veramaris, to discuss an up-and-coming innovation within the aquaculture industry: high-quality sustainable feed made from algal oil.

Veramaris produces omega-3 fatty acids for animal nutrition from microalgae. Our algal oil, a breakthrough innovation, helps conserve the natural biodiversity of our oceans – a vision shared by the scientists and engineers at our two parent companies, DSM and Evonik.

Veramaris produces algal oil through fermentation using only renewable resources. They use a waste-free process with minimal impact on the environment.

Learn more about Veramaris here, and check out this awesome article from The Advocate about Veramaris and their algal oil!
