inter- is a performative work that considers various forms of labor involved in resource value, conservation and allocation, including the specialized labor of biologists, economists and stock assessors, the skilled labor of commercial fisherpeople, the manual labor of factory workers in seafood production, the labor of tribal communities, the labor of consumers, and so forth. By highlighting these modes of labor, we can understand the individual effort to be inseparable from the functionality of the collaborative effort, the interdependence of efforts for resource management to be a complex choreography.
