Hi! I’m Sydney McPartlon, I’m a junior, Environmental Policy major, from Niskayuna, NY. My understanding of sustainability stems from its definition, that we must meet this generations needs while also ensuring the survival of future generations. Sustainability can be found in every industry like food, energy, fashion, and so on. When I look into sustainability and environmental issues I tend to focus on marine environments and the effects of the fishing industry. The ocean makes up the majority of our planet and is a huge resource humanity uses. The ocean is heavily impacted by human interference (extraction and pollution). Hopefully, the necessary precautions and protections will be made so the ocean stays healthy and thriving.
