She will review the habitat impacts of fisheries, and particularly the lack of legislation and willingness of fisheries managers to protect species like deep sea corals, sponges and related organisms from the impacts of fishing. Finally, with a look to the future, she will review some of the new and exploratory fisheries that are occurring. The presentation will close with a general discussion on how an individual can help to change the course of biodiversity loss in our oceans. --Boundary_(ID_P0dHsemlP2ARizJE9eaTyw) Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.3395" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV> <DIV class=meet_date><STRONG><FONT size=4>Halifax Field Naturalists -- Thursday, September 4, 2008 -- <SPAN class=meet_title>Fishing Impacts on Marine Diversity in the Northwest Atlantic -- 7:30, Musuem of Natural History, Summer St., Halifax</SPAN></FONT></STRONG></DIV> <P>Susanna Fuller, Marine Conservation Coordinator, Ecology Action Centre, will give us an overview of the current state of fish stocks, species that have been listed by COSEWIC, but not by SARA, and the general "personality" of fisheries in the Northwest Atlantic, but with a focus on Nova Scotia.
