Commonwealth Fisheries Programme present findings of Study Tours and Case Studies at the International Conference on Human Ecology at the University of Manchester

Richard Bourne of the Commonwealth Policy Studies Unit (CPSU) and Dr. Nicholas Watts of the Commonwealth Human Ecology Council (CHEC) shared their findings from the study tours and case studies with ecological experts from around the world. The International Conference on Human Ecology organised jointly by CHEC, the Society for Human Ecology and the University of Manchester brought together scholars and practitioners associated with the study of human ecology to examine the current challenges facing human ecology. The Commonwealth Fisheries Programme gave delegates insight in to how the idea of sustainable management of fisheries had been developing around Commonwealth.

The session called 'Fisheries management' was also contributed to by Karl Bruckmeier from Goteborg University (Sweden) who presented on the topic of 'Swedish fisheries and coastal communities: resilience and sustainable resource management' as well as Meriel Brooks from Green College in Vermont (USA) who talked about the 'Drift pattern of larval fish in the Poultney River'. Alastair McIntosh did a reading of a poem about growing up in a traditional community on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. After a Q and A session the morning concluded with the participants engaging in a lively discussion sharing their experiences regarding the different coastal communities they had visited.
