Dr. Rashid Sumaila, Director of the Fisheries Economics Research Unit, presented his research at Oceans Day in Durban, South Africa, on December 3, 2011. His presentation, titled Climate Change Impacts on the Biophysics and Economics of World Fisheries, was part of a session that highlighted the linkages between climate change and food security for African communities.
“It was a great opportunity for different stakeholders to talk to each other,” Dr. Sumaila said of the event.
The third Oceans Day was organized as part of the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) 17th Conference of the Parties (COP 17).
