About
On Inside Climate, the podcast from the Pulitzer Prize-winning nonprofit Inside Climate News, co-host Jake Bolster devoted an episode to the newsroom’s partnership with the Outlaw Ocean Project. Susan Ryan, the project’s operations and investigations editor, walked listeners through the supply chain from fishing vessel to dinner plate, pointing to forced labor and wage disputes at sea and toxic, foul-smelling emissions from fishmeal factories. Reporter Johnny Sturgeon then took the conversation to Greece’s Ambracian Gulf, where dense fish farming has degraded water quality, local fishing catches have collapsed, and broken Styrofoam from abandoned pens has washed onto beaches. The episode closed with practical advice for consumers hoping to buy seafood more responsibly
