He will also present topical issues related to overfishing, overcapacity and the current state of fish stocks from the lens of economics, including, fisheries subsidies; illegal, unreported, unregulated (IUU) fishing; fish stock rebuilding; and climate change. The goal of the course is to help students understand and know how to apply the most common fisheries economics theories and methods to fisheries management and policy.
