Session Description:
Steady growth in the size and wealth of the global human population coupled with changing food preferences for meat and seafood is putting increased pressure on our food systems. While aquaculture and fisheries both have the potential to produce protein with a relatively low environmental footprint, these two sectors also have a history of adverse environmental impacts and unsustainable practices. Understanding how aquaculture and fisheries can contribute to the growing demand for food without compromising the health and functioning of marine ecosystems is a key challenge going forward. In this session we will explore topics related to potential synergies between sustainable development and seafood production, opportunities to align fisheries and aquaculture with conservation objectives, positive and negative interactions between fisheries and aquaculture, innovative ways to increase sustainable seafood production, and the consequences of different food production strategies and scenarios on ocean ecosystems. Abstracts related to the role of fisheries or aquaculture in local to global food systems, or the interactions between fisheries and aquaculture are welcome. Interdisciplinary, forward-looking, and solutions-focused research is particularly encouraged.
