Anne Mosness: 'Reassessing Aquaculture: Risks of Factory Farms in Our Marine Environment'

Anne Mosness, a former Alaska fisherwoman, is president of the Women's Maritime Association, a Food and Society Policy Fellow and co-producer of the Bluefestival. She spoke at Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies' World Issues Forum on April 21.

Mosness explores the impacts of industrial production of fish, shrimp and shellfish on coastal ecologies, communities and economies. Similarities to factory farms on land should increase our concerns, yet too often politicians embrace corporations that are replacing small and sustainable family businesses.
