Natural World Lecture Series: Dr. Daniel Pauly

Brackendale Art Gallery. 8:00 pm.  According to Dr. Pauly, the world's "no fish left behind" approach to the systematic expansion of industrialized fisheries has left the Earth with nowhere left to fish. Join Dr Pauly as he explores this phenomenon and how it directly affects the environment and economy around us.

Dr. Daniel Pauly is a French citizen who completed his high school and university studies in Germany; his doctorate (1979) and habilitation (1985) are in Fisheries Biology, from the University of Kiel. After many years at the International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM), in Manila, Philippines, Daniel Pauly became in 1994 Professor at the Fisheries Centre of the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, of which he was the Director for 5 years (Nov. 2003-Oct. 2008). Since 1999, he is also Principal Investigator of the Sea Around Us Project (see www.seaaroundus.org), funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts, Philadelphia, and devoted to studying, documenting and promoting policies to mitigate the impact of fisheries on the world’s marine ecosystems.
