Jennifer Jacquet is a post-doctoral researcher with the Sea Around Us Project looking at non-regulatory conservation efforts.  She completed her Ph.D.titled Fish As Food in an Age of Globalization under the guidance of Daniel Pauly in 2009; her dissertation focused on seafood security in the developing countries as well as aspects of the seafood market in wealthy nations. She has published on issues related to seafood mislabeling, renaming, awareness campaigns, subsidies, and small-scale fisheries. She is critical of conservation-related consumer campaigns, which are the focus of her current research and her blog, Guilty Planet. She also oversees communication and outreach for the project.
