A Fish Called Sustainable: Human impacts on the ocean and sustainable seafood initiatives in Canada

This panel will bring together experts from academia, industry, and conservation to highlight the current ecological impacts of fishing—both local and globally, and discuss where gaps in seafood supply chain management currently exist. Additional emphasis will be placed on the role and accessibility of sustainable seafood recommendation programs, and the involvement of chefs and businesses in the promotion of responsibly sourced seafood to consumers. Audience participation will be highly encouraged and attendees are welcome to ask our panelists any questions they have related to fisheries and/or aquaculture practices in Canada and abroad.
