In 2000, having worked for the Hong Kong Government and then an NGO, with an increasing awareness of overfishing in our ocean, he decided to help educate people of the benefits of purchasing seafood from ‘responsibly sourced’ suppliers and supplying them with these items in Asia. He continues with that mission today.
