Ahmed Khan, a graduate of UBC’s Fisheries Economics Research Unit now studying at Memorial University in Newfoundland, Canada says that Governance may be an influential factor to consider when it comes to seafood supply. This comes from a recent article in Science magazine’s policy forum titled Sustainability and Global Seafood which appeared in the February 12, 2010 issue.

Ahmed is one of several authors on the paper who collaborated to draw attention to some of the current issues in world fisheries. A recent article in The Gazette summarizes some of the key points of the Science paper, and its implication for fisheries governance in Newfoundland; especially for cod recovery.

Ahmed Khan is currently pursuing a PhD with Dr. Ratana Chenpagdee at Memorial University in Newfoundland, Canada.
