Reimagining the Future of Oceans and Fisheries

The Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries (IOF) at The University of British Columbia is marking its 10th Anniversary in 2026. This milestone also commemorates over 70 years of groundbreaking research, policy engagement, education, and innovation in fisheries and ocean science at UBC.

To honour this occasion, we are holding a one-day symposium to look to the future of the field, to “Reimagine the Future of Oceans and Fisheries.”

Please join us as we critically reflect on where we are, envision where we need to go, and inspire a new generation of researchers and practitioners dedicated to sustaining oceans and aquatic systems.
