Sullivan describes new innovative models developed in New England and around the world that are modernizing the way we harvest and farm marine protein. This book is for those who are concerned about marine conservation and ocean health, with a special emphasis on entrepreneurs, technologists, and investors who see the traditional and aging fishing industry as ripe for technological transformation. This audience also includes the burgeoning "sea-foodie" and "locavore-fish" movement. Sullivan's intent is to raise awareness of what he colloquially calls Fishing 4.0-a new way of thinking about fish, oceans, and food that counters the "doom and gloom" scenarios and encourages a new generation of fishers to be change-makers in one of the world's oldest industries"-- |
