John Soluri Something Fishy: Blue Revolutions, Sustainability, and Environmental History Culture of Green: Nature and the Environment Date: April 1, 2010 Location: Clark Hall Room 309 on the campus of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio Description Since 1980, aquaculture industries have expanded rapidly in Latin America from Mexican mangroves to the fjords of Patagonia. What this potential revolution in food production means for Latin America's economies and ecosystems is the subject of a fierce debate that revolves around the idea of sustainability: advocates see aquaculture as an industry that reduces pressures on ocean fisheries while creating food, livelihoods, and export revenues. Critics cite marine pollution, the introduction of exotic species, and the creation of hazardous work conditions as major problems. This talk will demonstrate how the interdisciplinary perspectives of environmental history can help us evaluate the promise and peril of aquaculture in Latin America.
