WEBINAR: Charting a sustainable future for oceans in Canada

Celebrating the release of Sea Change

Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:00 am – 12:30 pm

Sea Change reports on the work of the OceanCanada Partnership, a multidisciplinary, multiyear research project to take stock of what we know about Canada’s three oceans, construct scenarios of the future facing coastal regions, and create a national dialogue and vision. Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars and practitioners in a wide array of fields investigate well-being, health, and livelihoods in coastal communities as they respond to rapid environmental and social transformation. With a focus on finding solutions, they outline the implications and obstacles for legislation, make suggestions for further research, and offer policy recommendations.

In celebration of this book’s release, some of the authors are coming together to discuss their findings and to answer the question: what can we do to chart a sustainable future for oceans in Canada?
