How do we stop overfishing if we don't know who's doing the fishing?
That's today's big question, and my guest is Jennifer Raynor.
Jennifer is an Assistant Professor of natural resource economics at the University of Wisconsin Madison.
Jennifer's research focuses on improving the efficiency and sustainability of fisheries and wildlife management, primarily using methods from economics, data science, and remote sensing.
She serves on the board of trustees for Global Fishing Watch, and her team decided to tackle 70 percent of our planet. The ocean. And what they discovered about who's trawling our oceans and where could set in motion policy the world over to make fishing drastically more sustainable and safe for everyone on every front.
