Global
Fisheries Sustainability:
Challenges and Prospects for North American Fisheries and Beyond?
8:15 a.m. Welcome and Introductions
Chuck Knutson - Cal/Neva Chapter President
Don MacDonald - WDAFS President
Carl V. Burger
“A Global Perspective on Sustaining Fisheries in the 21st Century:
Transitioning Beyond Existing Paradigms to an Integrated, Ecosystem Approach”
Past President of AFS, Carl Burger will describe how our
single-species approach to fisheries management has played a role in
the collapse of many fisheries throughout the world and has also led
to some species to becoming economically inefficient to harvest. Carl
will present the ecosystem approach to fisheries management that will
enable fisheries professionals to conserve and protect many declining
fish populations. We hope that this approach to fisheries management
will enable us to have sustainable fisheries in the 21st century and
beyond.
Ambassador Gilbert Parent
“Managing Marine Fisheries in a Changing Climate: Approaches
for Achieving Fisheries Sustainability”
Gilbert Parent, Canadian Ambassador of the Environment
will present on the effect that climate change is having on fisheries
management throughout the world especially to northern countries who
are more susceptible to the impacts of climate change. Ambassador Parent
will discuss Canada’s commitment to climate change and the Kyoto
Protocol.
WDAFS Award Presentations

Conservation Achievement Award
Dr. Salvador Contreras-Balderas
“Status and Opportunities for Sustainable Fisheries in Mexico”
Salvador Contreras-Balderas will present on the challenges
and opportunities that Mexico faces in trying to achieve sustainability
with its fisheries. Salvador has recently retired from the Universidad
de Nuevo Leon.
WDAFS Award Presentation Award of Excellence
Dr. William Hammond
“Fishing the Edges of the Turning Tide to Develop Partnerships
that Protect World Fisheries in a Period of Rapid Global Change”
Bill Hammond will discuss the value of partnerships to
help solve and protect world fisheries in this period of rapid global
change. This presentation will highlight the various challenges that
society faces for sustaining global fisheries as well as provide us
with a number of examples of partnership strategies, techniques, and
program elements from the Pacific Coast of the United States, Canada,
the Arizona desert, Florida, and elsewhere in the world. There are thousands
of instructive success stories of powerful partnerships that have worked
and continue to be fertile grounds for both protecting and enhancing
existing fisheries. This presentation will use media and a creative
thinking format that will provide insights into team building, marketing,
funding, leadership techniques, pitfalls, cautions, and sustaining and
nurturing partnership strategies that synergize individuals in such
arrangements.
