The symposium, in addressing the role of climate change and increasing demand on depleting fish populations, focuses on “the use of economic instruments and on how networking between institutions with regional mandates can be used to develop and implement global policies for conservation, thereby helping avert a hunt for the last fish.” This arresting image is a chilling reminder of what’s at stake. As the artists notes: "The End of Fishes is my own graphic representation of the radical decline in
fish populations." |
