S1 Ep 1911Why Tuna Might Be Doing Better Than You Think
Tuna fisheries are often seen as one of the biggest challenges in ocean conservation. But that story is starting to change, and most people have not caught up to it yet. In this episode, you'll hear how tuna fisheries in many parts of the world are actually improving. Better science, stronger monitoring, and more coordinated international management are helping rebuild stocks and reduce pressure on key species. To understand what's really happening, I spoke with Susan Jackson, President of the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation. She shares how data-driven decisions, harvest rules, and industry collaboration are changing the way tuna is managed globally. But progress does not mean the job is finished. Some stocks are still under pressure, and continued effort is critical to keep things moving in the right direction. This episode breaks down what's working, where challenges remain, and why tuna fisheries may be one of the most important examples of how ocean conservation can succeed when science and policy align.

S1 Ep 1910Who Decides How Much Fish Ends Up on Your Plate?
Most people assume fisheries are either working or failing, but very few people know how the system actually works. In this episode, I break down the hidden process behind fishing limits, stock assessments, political negotiations, and the science that shapes what ends up on your plate. You will learn why fisheries management can go wrong, what happens when countries ignore the science, and how better systems like harvest rules and stronger accountability can help fisheries recover. This episode also sets up tomorrow's interview with Susan Jackson from ISSF, where we will reveal just how far tuna fisheries have come.
