Megan Bailey, Tier II Canada Research Chair in Integrated Ocean and Coastal Governance joined the Marine Affairs Program in August 2015. Dr. Bailey is a fisheries economist whose research focus is the global cooperation required for sustainable seafood governance. Her research will recognize benefits of fisheries beyond the number of fish caught. Further, she’ll examine ways to facilitate more cooperation between countries and how governance arrangements like certification and traceability can help push the sustainability agenda, especially in developing countries.

The official announcement of Megan’s CRC appointment was made at Dalhousie University last week (http://www.dal.ca/news/2016/02/10/from-bridges-to-fishes--government-of-canada-announces-six-new-c.html).
