Energy Use in Fisheries: Improving Efficiency and Technological Innovations from a Global Perspective
Events - Symposium
14 Nov 2010 - 17 Nov 2010
The symposium from 14-17 November, 2010 in Seattle, WA (USA) will address both the direct and indirect effects of global energy costs on the seafood harvesting, processing, and marketing sectors. The desired outcomes will include a set of alternative strategies to reduce the carbon footprint of commercial and recreational fishing fleets, the associated financial gain to these industry participants, examples of the government's role in reducing its imprint, and a set of metrics to measure the level of energy reduction or improved environmental efficacy of different fuel types used by fishing fleets. This is an important and timely issue for the future of United States and world fisheries.
