Coming together to exchange ideas on key research questions and new areas of work is important to our shared understanding of lobster. By working together toward this common goal, we are making sure future Indigenous and coastal communities in Atlantic Canada and Quebec will benefit from healthy lobster stocks.
On June 15, Fisheries and Oceans Canada held a Lobster Science Partnership Roundtable to discuss important lobster science questions and research priorities. Thank you to the more than 40 participants, including Indigenous partners, commercial fishing representatives, other key researchers and Fisheries and Oceans Canada scientists, for their invaluable contribution to the conversation on the work that needs to be done to chart a common course for lobster science.
Participants discussed the specific lobster science projects they would like to undertake, and what they could each contribute. They also expressed interest in developing the Lobster Science Partnership Roundtable, and discussion focused on next steps needed to grow an effective partnership, including how to effectively work together and engage others in the process.
