October 15, 2024, 12:30-16:30; NORCE, Odfjell’s meeting room (Nygårdsgaten 112, 5008, Bergen)
Registration fee: Free
In the framework of the “BlueRemediomics” project, NORCE in collaboration with project partners from the University of Aberdeen (Scotland), CNRS (France), Leitat (Spain), and Lerøy (Norway), is organizing a workshop on “Norwegian Salmon Aquaculture” to promote a science-to-policy and ethics dialogue with local scientists, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
This “Town Hall” workshop will explore policy and ethics issues related to Norwegian aquaculture, applying the concept of “Do No Significant Harm”, with a focus on innovation in aquaculture as an environmental service and the implications of research to enable sourcing 50 % of animal protein from farmed fish by 2050 for human consumption.
The workshop will discuss the challenges faced related to the ethical and environmental impacts (e.g., pollution, fish health and welfare, sustainable feeds) of Norwegian aquaculture and will search for innovative solutions and policy measures to tackle them. This event provides an excellent opportunity for citizen organizations and other stakeholders to share their insight and expertise on the local production systems, their interactions with the natural environments, and the challenges they face.
