North American Association of Fisheries Economists

The NAAFE 2019 Forum in Halifax, jointly hosted by Dalhousie University and Saint Mary’s University, will highlight sessions focused on learning from our economic past, transitions to the future, value chain globalization, innovative market-based instruments, and the economics of the coming aquaculture revolution. This is a perfect time to come to Halifax to explore links with history, and visions for the future. Not only are Halifax and Nova Scotia, embracing development of ocean economies, but Dalhousie University, one of the host institutions, is home to the newly launched Ocean Frontier Institute (OFI), and thus this NAAFE 2019 Forum will be about the frontiers and futures for fisheries economics.
