Dr. Paul Foley, Grenfell Campus, Memorial University
Dr. Tyler Eddy, Marine Institute
Presented with the Memorial University Climate Action Coalition
As greenhouse gas emissions warm and acidify our oceans, the ecosystem they hold is adapting and changing. While some species can thrive in the new conditions, others are dying out or migrating north to colder waters.
How is this climate change impacting our fisheries?
How can communities build resilience to this change?
And what is the role of Memorial University and the Marine Institute in helping communities adapt to and mitigate the impact?
These are the questions we’ll be asking our panel AND YOU! This interactive webinar is designed to give space to acknowledge not just the expertise of our invited panelists, but all of our guests in the room.
