Seafood Swapping: What is it and what can we do about it?
Kim Warner, Senior Scientist, Oceana Foundation
Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, Bernie Fowler Laboratory, Room 1101
Seafood mislabeling, where cheaper or less desirable seafood is substituted for the one you bought, has been uncovered locally and globally. This talk, by Oceana Senior Scientist Kimberly Warner and Chesapeake Biological Laboratory alumna (Ph.D. 1999) will define seafood fraud and mislabeling, how it happens, the scope of the problem and the consequences. She will also highlight how citizen science “seafood sleuths” contributed to Oceana’s seafood fraud studies and new policies to help address the problem.
