Daniel Pauly
The Canadian Aquatic Resources Section (CARS) of the American Fisheries Society has named Dr. Daniel Pauly a “Legend of Canadian Fisheries Science and Management.”
The Canadian Aquatic Resources Section launched this recognition program in 2014, for Canadian fisheries professionals, particularly those who have had a long and illustrious history in fisheries science and management, with scientific discoveries, assessment tools, and contemporary management strategies attributed to them. Recognizing these individuals and highlighting their accomplishments will ensure that the next generation of fisheries professionals remain connected to the past and are aware of truly legendary figures in Canadian fisheries science and management.
Internationally celebrated fisheries scientist, Dr. Daniel Pauly, is a professor in UBC’s Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries. Currently the Principal Investigator of the Sea Around Us Project, Pauly has devoted his life to studying, documenting and promoting policies to mitigate the impact of fisheries on the world’s marine ecosystems.
Dr. Pauly joins fellow 2016 inductees Jack Reuben Way Vallentyne (DFO/IJC), Steven Campana (DFO/University of Iceland), and Don McPhail (UBC). IOF’s Dr. Carl Walters was an inductee in 2014.
