I think that's a very important question. Something that I feel very strongly about is the concept of a just transition and ensuring that workers in sectors such as this are not the ones bearing the brunt of the cost of these sorts of decisions, and certainly the numerous decisions that have led to this point.
Regardless of whether you do or don't support fish farms—I personally am in favour of moving to closed-containment farms—I think the idea of procedural fairness and a plan for transition that ensures these workers are not left high and dry is a critical one. Often it's the case with harvesters as well. These are people who live in small rural communities, often are not sustained off of super-high incomes, and likely have lower carbon footprints than you and I do. It's not fair to expect them to bear the full cost of sudden decisions that impact their livelihoods.
There's a lot of research on just transitions, and there are a lot of comments around opportunities for funding and retraining. However, realistically, in some of these communities, alternatives are few and far between. I think it takes a much more comprehensive approach and thinking about the economy as a whole.
That is partially why I'm so interested in socio-cultural science and thinking proactively at the outset about our decisions when it comes to use of our marine resources.
