A University of Victoria–RSC: The Academies Forum
On February 21 and 22, 2007, leading international ocean and climate researchers and government decision-makers will gather at the University of Victoria to address scientific and policy issues of critical importance to the future of Earth’s oceans.
This event is part of the series RSC–Universities Forums on Taboo Topics, created to provide citizens and policymakers with a locus where controversial issues can be examined critically and policy approaches explored.
Dr. Daniel Pauly, Director of the Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia, a co-winner in 2006 of the prestigious Volvo Environment Prize and winner of the International Cosmos Prize 2005, will deliver the keynote address on mining fish from the sea. Experts from countries including Canada, Chile, Germany, Scotland and the United States will address such issues as climate change, global aquaculture, ocean acidification and dead zones, coastal communities and fisheries policies, and offshore petroleum resource development.
