Paul Greenberg is a bestselling American author focusing on ocean and environmental issues. His book, Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food, was published in 2010 by Penguin Press on July 15,[1] and entered the New York Times Best Selling Hard Cover List as of August 13.[2] In addition to its commercial success the book received wide critical acclaim, most notably on the cover of the New York Times Book Review by the Times' food editor Sam Sifton[3] who called it "a necessary bookfor anyone truly interested in what we take from the sea to eat." The book won the 2011 James Beard Award for writing and literature.[4] Many of the themes in Four Fish were later explored in a 2017 Frontline PBS documentary Greenberg anchored and co-wrote called The Fish On My Plate.[5] Greenberg's 2015 TED Talk [6] has received over 1.5 million views.
In 2014 Greenberg followed up Four Fish with American Catch: The Fight for Our Local Seafood,[7] a book that examined the odd fact that while the US controls more ocean than any country on earth it imports more than 85% of its seafood from other countries. In July 2018 Penguin Press will publish the third in his "marine trilogy" The Omega Principle: Seafood and the Quest for a Longer Life and a Healthier Planet.[8] Greenberg has been a National Endowment for the Arts Literature Fellow,[9] a Pew Fellow in Marine Conservation,[10] and a W.K. Kellogg Foundation Food and Society Policy Fellow.[11] He currently resides in New York City and lectures[12] widely throughout North America
