A story about how our human behaviour during COVID19 …is affecting ocean wildlife. Luxury seafood tourism in Hong Kong and China has halted under lockdown.  While good for endangered reef fish in Indonesia in the short-term, we may be losing a leading sustainable fishing company for the long-term. Dr. Yvonne Sadovy of HKU tells the story.
