The Sounds of Science is a comprehensive account of a large-scale scientific experiment involving globally operating seafood corporations headquartered in North America, Europe, and Asia. The book delves into the process of identifying these world-leading seafood companies and explores how their disproportionate powers were mobilized in a coalition called SeaBOS (Seafood Business for Ocean Stewardship). SeaBOS aims to provide global and science-based industry leadership on ocean stewardship, as envisioned by the cover art (Flow, 2020) by renowned creative director Kashiwa Sato.

The experiment is generating a small wave of change that sits within a larger wave, supporting and generating larger movements towards improved stewardship of the planet. The book explores how corporations, guided by science, can be part of the solution to the biosphere challenges. Written in collaboration with international experts on sustainability, ocean ecosystems, fisheries policy, and corporations, the book examines the mechanisms leading to the evolution of cooperation and the barriers to address in order to engage in collaborative learning, corporate change, and novel science.

The Sounds of Science offers tangible advice to scientists on how to work with the private sector for a better, more sustainable world. The book is an important resource for scientists interested in engaging with the private sector, as well as corporate leaders and policy makers who seek to understand, collaborate, and work with the planet to reach global sustainability goals.
