Now a Japanese citizen, Dr.Shelley Clarke catches us up on her work as she makes a positive contribution to more sustainable oceans. We also hear of her passion to give a second life to a beautiful traditional Japanese estate dating back 600 years. But will she be the only resident of this community in 20 years?

In 2022, I met Shelley Clarke at Minka Summit and talked with her here on Seek Sustainable Japan - here we catch up on the last 4 years of renovations at her 600 year old traditional Japanese house estate and the many local projects she has done.

We start with some sustainable fisheries insights from her work with the UN on IUU (illegal, undisclosed and unregulated fishing).
