9th Pacific Rim Fisheries Conference: Ensuring Seafood Supply in a Changing WorldVancouver, Canada
The Ninth Pacific Rim Fisheries Conference will focus on recent changes in Pacific fisheries and their impact on the fishing industry. These include: changing environment; shifting marine resource availability; new challenges and changing markets; and rapidly evolving enforcement regimes. The impact of these changes has resulted in the imposition of greater accountability by international organizations and regional fisheries management organizations that will require greater cooperation among Pacific fishing nations. In addition, as the global demand for fish products increases, ensuring a stable seafood supply will become increasingly important for nations of this region.
The Ninth Pacific Rim Fisheries Conference will bring together governments, industry, and other stakeholders from these nations to explore the impact of these changes on the industry and devise possible collaborative strategies to ensure a stable and predictable seafood supply in years to come.
