Award-winning investigative journalist Greg Mercer will be spotlighting his latest work on the global lobster industry, following the release of his new book. The event brings together readers, environmentalists, and industry watchers for an in-depth look at how one of the world’s most lucrative seafood trades connects climate, culture, and commerce.
Over the course of four years, Mercer traveled from the rugged Atlantic coasts of Canada to seafood markets in Asia, documenting the human stories behind the lobster trade. His reporting examines the industry’s vulnerabilities in the face of climate change, overfishing, and market pressures, while also revealing how lobster has become a symbol of identity and survival for many coastal communities.
Attendees can expect a discussion that blends hard investigative findings with vivid storytelling, offering new perspectives on a subject often overlooked beyond its culinary appeal. Mercer will reflect on the challenges of long-form investigative reporting, the environmental stakes of global seafood, and the ethical dilemmas surrounding consumption and conservation.
The event serves as both a book launch and a broader conversation about sustainability, journalism, and the global connections hidden in our food systems.
