February 3, 2024 — Hannah Heimbuch is a fisheries policy and communications consultant for Ocean Strategies and a commercial salmon fisherman from Alaska. Pak Mustain is a blue crab harvester from Indonesia. Both work with the Walton Family Foundation to support sustainable seafood production and resilient fishing communities.
