Roger Gilbert, CEO of International Aquafeed
magazine (pictured), is to address the Monaco Blue Initiative tomorrow.
As the Initiative's own website will tell
you, a quarter of the world's population now depends on seafood for sustenance
and income. Aquaculture production has
more than doubled globally since the turn of the century. Marine plant
production has also increased significantly, especially in the East.
But how will this affect the
environment and society? This is the question asked by the theme for this
year's edition of the Monaco Blue Initiative: 'Feeding and fuelling the world
through sustainable aquaculture?'
The Initiative, now in its 6th edition,
will open tonight at the Yacht Club of Monaco with Mission Blue, a film by
world-renowned marine biologist Dr Sylvia Earle.
The first session tomorrow morning will see
Roy Palmer of the Association of International Seafood Professionals take part
in a panel discussion titled 'Aquaculture to feed the world.'
Roger Gilbert will then be joined by Pierre
Erwes of Biomarine, Vegar Johansen, President of SINTEF and Marc Metian,
aquaculture research scientist at AIEA to consider 'New frontiers for
aquaculture.'
