Friday Lecture: 'The Ocean as a Commons: Using stewardship to reassess high seas fisheries management' - Prof Joanna Mossop, Victoria University of Wellington

This lecture is a hybrid event although the speaker will attend online. 

There is a sandwich lunch at 12.30 pm in the Old Library at the Centre. All lecture attendees welcome.

Lecture summary: In this lecture Joanna Mossop will present research she is undertaking with Prof Richard Barnes (University of Lincoln). In the lecture Prof Mossop will argue that the commons nature of the ocean implies certain values including respecting environmental bottom lines, equity and accountability. She will argue that stewardship offers a framework to implement these values, and will evaluate how the performance of Regional Fisheries Management Organisations might be improved using stewardship as a guide.

Chair: Dr Markus Gehring
