UBC Dialogues: Victoria
Do Fish Have a Future?
Many believe the oceans now contain just a tiny fraction of the large fish they once held. How do we satisfy the worldwide appetite for fish, while at the same time maintaining stocks for the future? Is there such a thing as 'sustainable fisheries', or do we need a complete moratorium to nurse certain species back to health? Who's monitoring sustainable practices? Where will change come from: new government rules, pressure from advocacy groups or within the industry itself?
Please join us on April 14, 2011, for UBC Dialogues: Victoria. Have your voice heard and your questions answered by UBC and community experts.
