Can you be a vegetarian & work with fishing communities?
Update: 2025-06-06
Description
I've heard people boldly proclaim: "If you're going to work with small-scale fishing communities, you have to eat fish." Hmm... no. Not true. But there certainly are important caveats/exceptions and considerations! In this "Advice" episode, I dive into this admittedly niche topic for any vegetarian young researchers who are wondering if they can maintain their values while doing fieldwork. I've been a vegetarian for 18 years, and worked with small-scale fisheries for 17. I've been just fine.
