SeaFood Business
July 2013
n Melissa Wood joined SeaFood
Business in 2011 as an assistant editor.
She also writes features
for National Fisherman.
For both, she takes an
up-close look at the
industry with trips to processing plants,
cod, trout, salmon and mussel farms,
and a day at sea on a groundfsh
trawler in the Gulf of Maine.
For this month's Top Story, she
writes about labor abuse in the
seafood industry. While there's
been a greater emphasis on social
responsibility in the seafood supply
chain, she discovered that more
needs to be done. Human rights'
groups continue to uncover abuses
— even when standards are in place
to protect workers who are often
low-paid migrants with no power to
advocate for themselves. "As pointed
out in the story, human rights aren't
as complex as environmental issues
to fx, but the market needs to insist
that abuses won't be tolerated."
n Contributing Editor Jason Holland
embarked upon his career as an
international B2B journalist
and editor in 1990, but
says he didn't fnd his
"true calling" until 2004
when he started documenting the
seafood industry. Home is a leafy
part of London, where he lives with
Claire and their son Lucas.
n Contributing Editor Anthony
Fletcher, who writes our Global
Foodservice feature, is a
freelance journalist who
lives in Belgium with his
wife and two children.
When not writing about the
food industry, Fletcher, originally
from Scotland, enjoys playing
guitar and discovering new types
of Belgian beer.
