The focus of the symposium is on the integrated assessment of multiple ocean uses across sectors including fisheries, renewable energy, coastal development, oil and gas, transport, and the need for conservation. Emphasis will be on the methodological and empirical challenges involved in the human dimensions in integrated ecosystem assessments.
MSEAS 2021 presents a diverse and exciting range of topics to showcase the world's commercial, recreational, and indigenous fisheries. It will provide an important forum for identifying the critical developments needed over the coming decades to ensure the world's oceans are managed sustainably for the benefit of current and future generations.
