(July 2, 2015) Climate change is forcing fish out of their current habitats and into cooler waters and many more species will soon be affected if climate goals are not met, say scientists. An international team of researchers, including CORU leader William Cheung, compared the future of the oceans under two climate change scenarios. In one scenario, we […] Read More >

(July 16, 2012) It could cost up to $292 billion and take almost three decades, but UBC experts have a proposal to save the world’s fisheries. See more on this story from the Vancouver Sun and access the full study here. Read More >
(July 7, 2012) Drs William Cheung and Rashid Sumaila have identified conservation “hot spots” around the world where the temptation to profit from overfishing outweighs the appetite for conservation. Their results were presented in the 2012 Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Vancouver. [Read more…] Read More >
