This talk discusses the rise of consumer-based initiatives to save the world's marine life, such as seafood wallet cards and the Marine Stewardship Council’s eco-label for wild-caught fish.
The principle that consumers should make a point of choosing products that reflect their ideals is a good one, but there are also challenges with initiatives that focus on end consumers—particularly because they ask us to engage as consumers rather than as concerned citizens and relate to fish as a commodity rather than as wildlife.
Dr. Jennifer Jacquet, clinical assistant professor, New York University
