If seafood wants to reach a different audience, we need to market seafood differently...
And that’s exactly what we’re doing.
A brand story is only as strong as the people who hear it…
If you want to connect with the right audience—the ones who will not only buy but advocate for you—you need to own your narrative and show up where they are.
We help our clients do just that, engaging the next wave of consumers, decision-makers, and industry leaders.
But we’re not just thinking about today…
We’re thinking long term…
We’re building visibility not only for today’s seafood buyers but for the generations that follow. Because when people grow up with seafood, and appreciate the innovations that support it, they’re with you for life.
With our market awareness, agility, and diverse expertise, we help businesses in seafood and beyond stay ahead of the curve.
And yes, we’re going to have a ton of fun doing it.
Our passion
goes deep.
We’re reinventing how we tell the seafood story. InnaSea Media was founded by Emily De Sousa — an award-winning fisheries scientist and creator — on a simple conviction: the future of seafood depends on unity, creativity, and a commitment to changing the narrative.
Having worked across every corner of the industry, from wild fisheries to aquaculture, from deck to dinner plate, we believe in collaboration over competition. Our vision is to bring seafood harvesters, value-chain supporters, innovators, and purveyors together to create a sector-wide movement — one that transforms consumer perceptions, inspires a new generation of seafood enthusiasts, and drives positive change within the industry.
The seafood industry has spent way too long running behind bad press and misinformation. We’re done with just keeping up; it’s time to level up.
Emily De Sousa
Founder
Emily De Sousa is an award-winning fisheries scientist, content creator, and all-around seafood powerhouse. She’s best known for her influencer platform, Seaside with Emily, where she’s reeled in a loyal crew of followers eager to dive deeper into the world of sustainable seafood.
Currently based in Niagara, Emily's roots trace back to the Açores Islands in Portugal, and her insatiable wanderlust has led her to explore over 30 countries with seafoodie stories in mind.
Armed with a master’s degree from the University of Guelph specializing in small-scale fisheries in North America, Emily doesn’t just talk the talk—she’s walked the docks. From engaging with businesses and NGOs to consulting with international heavyweights, her expertise spans the seafood supply chain in both wild fisheries to aquaculture. You might’ve seen her name drop in some heavy hitters like Good Morning America, The Globe and Mail, National Post, and SeafoodSource—just to name a few.
As founder of InnaSea Media, Emily’s mission is straightforward and ambitious: turn up the volume on seafood storytelling, open doors between the people who make seafood and the people who buy it, and make everyone fall in love with fish (and the people who bring it to our plates).
