The first in a series of seminars hosted by the Nereus Program and Green College at UBC, Nereus Program Directors Yoshi Ota and William Cheung will be presenting, along with other experts. Nereus Research Associate Rashid Sumaila will also be presenting. The seminar will take place 5-6:30pm at Green College.
“The ocean is changing and human society needs to adapt. What is the scale of this change and what will be the impacts? The current paradigm for adaptation needs to be changed to tackle the co-emergence of environmental impacts and societal concerns. How will we adapt to this new ocean? The first talk of this seminar will set the premise of this seminar series — the changing ocean and our pathway to adaptation. Dr. Cheung and Dr. Ota will provide talks from both the natural and social science perspectives to explain the future state of oceans and fisheries. Invited guests will provide their perspectives in a panel discussion.”
