The MFRE seminar this week is:  

Feb 2: Bruce Turris, Fisheries Management: How Theory Becomes Operationalized

3:30pm, MCML 160 

Bruce is an economist, but very much a practitioner. For the first 17 years of his career, he was an official with the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, in the Pacific region. He subsequently went into private practice, working very closely with industry as well as government. He does extensive consulting work outside of Canada, as well as within, with examples being the US (both coasts), China and Europe. 

Everyone is welcomed!
