Values Matter Redefining Sustainable Seafood Wallace Center Webinar September 15, 2016 By Niaz Dorry Coordinating Director Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance
Dominant Seafood Narrative: We need cheap seafood to feed the world. Fishermen are the problem. We need more “efficiencies” in the system. Consolidation. “Ownership = Stewardship” Get Big or Get Out.

It’s All About the Healthy, Wild, Marine Ecosystem
Food Sovereignty Food Justice All People Have the Right to Decide What They Eat and to Ensure That Food in Their Community Is Fair and Healthy for Everyone.
The Power of Small and Medium-scale community- based Fisherman Small and medium scale community- based fishermen bring high value to coastal communities, working waterfronts, local and regional economies, and our food systems. They must be the leading voice in finding solutions to support new approaches to managing fisheries and seafood markets.
Dignity for all People Marginalization of any peoples is rooted in a long history of racism, exclusion, and oppression. All those in our seafood value chain and fishing communities must be in control of the price they are paid, be paid fair wages, and afforded lives with dignity.
Human and Environmental Issues are One Our treatment of humans is inextricably tied to our treatment of the earth and all its inhabitants. Measuring sustainability must include the inexcusable damage of modern day slavery, loss of fishing traditions, and equitable food access.
Equitable Access and Fair Markets Existing market strategies threaten the continued survival of small and medium-scale community-based fishermen, and equitable access by all to seafood caught by these fishermen.
Wild Ecosystems Ocean and marine animals as public commons Lives with Dignity Healthy Food Healthy Communities Food Justice Food Access Fair Prices and Wages Safe Working Conditions
