No Fish in My Dish is one man's ode to preserving the fish and marine life that we, by over fishing and over consumption threaten to make extinct.
How does a guy who goes from working at an IBM laboratory in California's Silicon Valley go from computer guru to environmental champion for marine life? If you're Jason Kelly, it all starts with a few thought-provoking trips to Monterey Bay Aquarium, followed up with a stint of living and working in Japan. That's when the penny dropped for Jason. He says, "...while living in Japan, I visited the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo. It's the largest in the world, and when I saw the thousands of fish processed there each day I wondered how many fish there could be in the ocean. I researched it and discovered that there aren't enough to withstand the intensity of modern day fishing efforts. I was drawn into the crisis and researched further."
The net result, apart from a whole lot of research and education, is Jason's wonderful and accessible children's book (really for anyone in my humble estimation) called No Fish in My Dish.
Join me this week as I get a chance to chat with Jason about his book, his goals and how he hopes to enlighten and educate the next generation to consume fish responsibly, always with an eye to the future.
