The Ocean Frontier Institute will host a virtual workshop aimed at developing and building consensus on a comprehensive biodiversity strategy.
Biodiversity is one of three research pillars for OFI. The aim of the strategy is to identify and describe key areas that should form a core focus when moving forward with work in this area.
Participants will include researchers from Dalhousie University, Memorial University, and the University of Prince Edward Island, as well as international attendees.
Keynote speakers will highlight the importance of ocean biodiversity (e.g., to policy, industry, economy, climate, or communities), summarize key issues that are important, and describe opportunities for organizations to engage in research and develop solutions, guidance, and or policy.
Dalhousie University is located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq. We are all Treaty people.
We acknowledge that the lands on which Memorial University’s campuses are situated are in the traditional territories of diverse Indigenous groups, and we acknowledge with respect the diverse histories and cultures of the Beothuk, Mi’kmaq, Innu, and Inuit of this province.
