Keynote Address by Dr. George Chamberlain

Dr. George Chamberlain is the President of The Center for Responsible Seafood.

He started his aquaculture career in 1975 as a researcher, instructor, and Extension Aquaculture Specialist at Texas A&M University.

For the next ten years, he directed the aquaculture programs at Ralston Purina International and Monsanto. From 1999 to 2020, he founded and managed several shrimp breeding, nutrition, and farming companies, ultimately known as Kona Bay with operations in Malaysia, Brunei, and Hawaii.

Concurrent with his commercial activities, Chamberlain served as a Board member and President of the World Aquaculture Society and later helped found both the Global Aquaculture Alliance (GSA) and The Center for Responsible Seafood (TCRS). He served for 25 years as President of GSA and now leads TCRS. One of the most ambitious and impactful projects of TCRS is a new Improver Program which leverages digital technology to help small holder farms begin their sustainability journey to certification.
