Description

Activities
This research will rely on social science methodology, including surveys and focus groups to investigate consumer preferences for ethical seafood products (both in the way they are killed, and the way they are processed).
Expected outcomes
The proposed work will contribute to the economics of conservation and management of living marine resources by developing insights into market creation for high-quality seafood, and ethical supply chain practices. The work will provide insights into how to market ethical shing practices, in order to help support the small-scale commercial shing industry in rhode island and create nancial incentives for shermen, while promoting higher quality, more humane products for consumers. The work will also improve knowledge about consumer preferences for ethically produced seafood. Intended beneciaries: in addition to the educational and professional development benets of the student, the ndings of this work may have implications for commercial shermen, business owners and policy makers. The work will provide insights into consumer preferences as they relate to ethical shing practices and marketing. This could also have implications for increasing public awareness of forced labor and illegal shing practices across the commercial shing industry.
