Why I didn’t watch Seaspiracy

Did you watch the 2021 documentary Seaspiracy?

It’s a sensationalized attempt to explain how the industrial fishing industry affects the environment.

It’s not an easy film to watch. In fact, I turned it off five minutes in. Find out why.

2021 Relaunch: Green Fish Blue Oceans Podcast

It was only a matter of time before I relaunched the Green Fish Blue Oceans podcast.

Welcome back, friends. There’s no better time than the beginning of a new year to start a new thing. Indeed, we made it through 2020. Anything feels possible.

Especially for me. During 2019 and 2020, I kicked a rare, life-threatening cancer, stage IIIB dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Today, I’m strong, healthy, and excited to be alive. My doctors say the greatest part of my success was my positive attitude. And they’re right, but the other part of my recovery was my diet, which as you probably guessed, is rich in seafood.

To kick-off the 2021 show, I created a brief introduction so you know what to expect moving forward.
