The planet will be home to more than 9 billion people by
2050, and we’re already seeing critical levels of famine
around the world mirrored by growing obesity in developed
nations. In The Perfect Protein, Andy Sharpless maintains
that protecting wild seafood can help combat both issues,
because seafood is the healthiest, cheapest, most
environmentally friendly source of protein on earth. While
the conservation community has taken a simplistic,
save-the-whales approach when it comes to oceans, Sharpless
contends that we must save the world’s seafood not just to
protect marine life and biodiversity but to stave off the
coming humanitarian crisis. With high demand for predator species like tuna and salmon,
wealthy nations like the U.S. convert “reduction” species
such as anchovies, mackerel, and sardines into feed for
salmon and other farmed animals—even though these overlooked
fish are packed with health-boosting Omega-3 fatty acids and
could feed millions. By establishing science-based quotas,
protecting wild habitats, and reducing bycatch (and treating
anchovies and their like as food, not feed), Sharpless
believes that effective ocean stewardship can put healthy,
sustainable seafood on the table forever. To that end,
Oceana has tapped 20-plus chefs, including Mario Batali,
Eric Ripert, and Jose Andres for recipes that give us all a
role to play in this revolutionary mission: to save the fish
so that we can eat more fish.
