The Sounds of Science provides a
comprehensive account of a large-scale scientific experiment with
globally operating seafood corporations headquartered in North America,
Europe, and Asia. It describes how scientists worked to identify these,
world's largest seafood companies, and how their disproportionate powers
were mobilized in a coalition of companies called SeaBOS (Seafood
Business for Ocean Stewardship), aiming to provide global and
science-based industry leadership on ocean stewardship.
As
invoked by the cover art (Flow, 2020) by world-renowned creative
director, Kashiwa Sato, the experiment is creating a small wave of
change that sits within a larger wave, supporting and generating larger
movements towards improved stewardship of the planet. A new direction
for the private sector is emerging, and new priorities are flourishing.
The book explores how corporations, guided by science, can be part of
the solution to the biosphere challenges.
Written
in collaboration with international experts on sustainability, ocean
ecosystems, fisheries policy, and corporations, this book explores the
mechanisms leading to the evolution of cooperation, and the barriers to
address in order to engage in collaborative learning, corporate change
and novel science. It offers tangible advice to scientists on how to
work with the private sector for a better, more sustainable world.
The
Sounds of Science is an important resource for scientists interested in
engaging with the private sector. Corporate leaders and policy makers
will find this book useful for understanding, collaborating, and working
with the planet to reach global sustainability goals.
