What is Sustainability?
Although this term can have different interpretations depending on the stakeholders' interest the ultimate goal of a sustainable framework is the same. That is to establish equity within the community so all the capital that is needed to establish that community is maintained.
In order to achieve sustainability the ecology, economy and society must be viewed as individual pieces of twine that are woven together to make a tight and complex net. When looking at the net it is not possible to see the beginning or end of any particular twine as they are all integral parts of the final mesh. Likewise it is difficult to touch one twine within the net without vibrating others.
Whether you are attending this conference from an academia, processing, harvesting, environmental or governmental agenda all of the topics covered will be of relevance. Our goal is simple, to ensure the fishing industry continues to FLOURISH, so that all of us are NOURISHED!
We're planning a program to cover seafood quality, contaminant issues, nutrition & health benefits, regulations and marketing issues.
