Sarah Schumann is a Rhode Island commercial fisherman, the owner and manager of Shining Sea Fisheries Consulting LLC, and she plays a variety of public service roles in the commercial fishing community.
Sarah became captivated by the idea of applying the principles of ecosystem-based fisheries management to the seafood marketplace in 2011, while perusing science books in a university library after a long day on the water. As she read, the words on the pages melded in her mind’s eye with images of the variety of fish that she and her captain had caught that day. The vision that took hold that day would lead Sarah to create a dinner series and later a nonprofit called Eating with the Ecosystem, which she led until 2018.
She now carries this vision to new and wider audiences in the form of this collaborative publication, Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Marketing.
