Oceans cover seventy per cent of the surface of our planet and are essential to all life on earth. They regulate our climate, supply our oxygen, and support millions of organisms that make up the complex marine food web—from planktonic creatures to blue whales to humans. We need our oceans for food and for health.

Join the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre and OceanCanada for a series of engaging talks exploring the history and future of Canada’s fisheries followed by Q & A and a “Meet and Mingle.”  Four Tuesday evenings will feature new topics and experts:

• Feb 28: History of Aboriginal, recreational and commercial fisheries on the NW Coast and implications for the future.
• Apr 11: Current issues and future projections for local, Aboriginal, recreational and commercial fisheries.
• Sep 12: How climate change and pollution are affecting our oceans.
• Nov 7: Making sustainable choices.

Complimentary admission and refreshments for these events are generously being provided by OceanCanada.
