Perhaps no edible industry is as contentious as seafood when it comes to sustainability. For decades, mislabeled fish, faulty information and bad harvesting practices have given seafood a bad rap in terms of ethics and environmental conservation, but new data reveals how aquaculture and wild harvesting have worked in tandem to introduce new environmentally-friendly fishing practices.
Most of the debate has involved farmed seafood, especially fish, which tend to generate high levels of carbon emissions and waste and require chemicals and antibiotics to guard against illness. Farmed fish, which are kept in ponds inland and in floating tanks or nets offshore, also create the risk of spreading disease or creating issues of invasive species when contaminated water breeches its confines or fish escape into the wild.
The James Frederic Carr Memorial Cup
The James Frederic Carr Memorial Cup was established in honor of a William & Mary student who served with distinction in the First World War and lost his life before he could return to graduate. The award recognizes the student who best exemplifies character, scholarship and leadership.
The recipient of the 2021 Carr Memorial Cup is Abram Clear ’21. Clear will graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in linguistics and anthropology and recently accepted an offer to pursue a fully-funded linguistics M.A. at University of Toronto.
A 2021 Rhodes Scholarship finalist, Clear distinguished himself as a true academic and campus leader. His senior honors thesis focused on the dialect of his family, based in the Appalachian Mountains, specifically on vowel production and perception.
