Second Place "Big Fish: The Aquacultural Revolution" by Jude Isabella, Brendan Borrell, Brian Payton, Paul Tullis and Jess Mackie for Hakai Magazine Judges' comments: "By 2050 Earth's population should approach 10 billion people who will need to turn to the sea for sustenance. A team of reporters from Hakai Magazine set out to find how seafood can be sustainably farmed. In an interesting, detailed, knowledgeable look inside the aquaculture industry, their story raises crucial environmental issues and the way those challenges could be met. The specificity of information regarding problems with aquaculture and the hit-or-miss nature of solutions are carefully integrated throughout the piece. The aquaculture timeline is a particularly helpful note in framing the longstanding issues."
