The Master of Marine Management (MMM) Students at Dalhousie University is hosting the 13th annual Sustainable Ocean Conference – Tides of Tomorrow. www.sustoceans.com
As part of their community outreach, they are hosting mini presentations at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Presentations on ocean governance and policy, and marine conservation in Atlantic Canada will be mediated by Scott Schrempf (MMM Student).
The MMM program is a professional and interdisciplinary degree focusing on applied research projects and required classes in marine and social sciences. Graduate research projects are designed with an emphasis on management and marine planning.
Ocean Governance and Policy

Bethany Pohl: Bethany’s research works to advance the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) within marine conservation and explores what Indigenous-led marine conservation and governance could look like for the Peskotomuhkati Nation.
Marine Conservation Tools
