Research Tuesdays: Protecting the Catch
Seafood has been a key dietary component for hundreds of millions of people for a long time. But the global ‘catch’ is under pressure.
With the world’s population predicted to reach 9.6 billion by 2050, seafood demand is set to skyrocket. Yet,Ìýaccording to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization, almost 90% of fish stocks are already fully or over-exploited. So how can we keep seafood on the menu?
Date: Tuesday 14th August 2018
Time: 5:30pm - 7:00pm
Where: Braggs Lecture Theatre, ³ÉÈË´óƬ, North Terrace
In this special National Science Week forum, some of Australia’s leading researchers in a number of complementary disciplines will discuss the critical challenges of sustainable fisheries:Ìýscientific and commercial interests; environmental concerns; ethics and equity; and international law and policy.
