</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:300; color:rgb(51,51,51)">We all have tacit relationships with and dependence on the oceans. “Fish-as-food recalibrates the extent to which anyone can choose to opt out of dominant food regimes
by saying, ‘I don’t eat fish’. As it stands, we all eat fish albeit often in circuitous ways” (Probyn, Eating the Ocean). One of the greatest contemporary challenges is how to eat the oceans better and fairer: for fish, fishers, and their aquatic ecosystems.
Sustaining the seas is one of the most pressing global challenges for the planet and all her inhabitants. How to do justice to this challenge is
</span><span style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:300; color:rgb(51,51,51)">an exigency for all scholars, and how to represent the oceans is a guiding theme in the conference that will be

This will be a unique opportunity to engage with local and global oceanic complexities through panel discussions, keynote speakers, films, demonstrations of innovative practice, and fieldtrips.</span></font></p>
