The Curtis and Edith Munson Conservation Lecture Series
The Future of Fisheries: Over-Harvested or Sustainably-Managed?
Fall 2007
Some scientists predict that the world’s fisheries are headed toward total collapse, while others argue that management has improved in certain areas and the prospects of sustainable management are quite good.
What are the points of disagreement between these two schools of thought? Does science provide the necessary information to manage fisheries sustainably? What management tools and trade-related measures are appropriate and work?
This lecture series will present contrasting views of the state of the world’s marine fisheries, explore some of the ecosystem impacts of commercial fishing and review techniques currently used to achieve sustainable management of exploited marine fish populations.
