Will there be more fish in the sea? Professor Nicholas Dulvy tackles this challenge through a better understanding of marine biodiversity change and sustainable resource use. For the past decade (2009–2020), Nick served as co-Chair of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Shark Specialist Group – a global volunteer network of around 171 scientists and experts from 55 countries in 12 ocean regions with a mission: “to secure the conservation, management and recovery of the world's sharks, rays and chimaeras through the mobilization of global technical expertise”. Dulvy’s research helps us see into the sea, through fundamental contributions to the understanding and management of aquatic biodiversity change, the development of sustainable management practices, and training Canada’s next generation of marine scientists and managers.
