Greenhorns and Smithereen Farm present, as part of our Low Low Tides Seaweed Harvest programming:
A conversation about fisher-advocacy, values-based seafood, and defending the ocean commons. For those who are new to the "ocean space," it's not always clear that there are many civil society organizations working to represent the stakeholders of the ocean. Conservation organizations have played a role with environmental lawsuits to block salmon farms, protest toxic waste dumping, and address overfishing, but there are other kinds of organizing that are worth knowing about. Feini Yin will give us a talk about the ecosystem of such advocacy across the US, many of whom are partners with the North American Marine Alliance. NAMA's theory of change, approach to movement building, and outcomes of past campaigns can help orient us in our work with Seaweed Commons.
