13th Annual Wiese Distinguished Lecture Series Presents Dr. Daniel Pauly
 

	Dr. Daniel Pauly

The New York Times calls Dr. Daniel Pauly “an iconoclaststic fisheries scientist…who is so decidedly global in his life and outlook that he is nearly a man without a country.”

This world-renowned scientist will be featured as the 13th Annual Wiese Distinguished Lecturer this fall, and the public is invited to attend his talk “Global Trends in
World Fisheries: Impact on Marine Ecosystems and Food Security” on Wednesday, November 1, 7pm at the John Counts Room at the Mitchell Center, University of South Alabama (USA). The lecture is presented by the Department of Marine Sciences, USA, and the Sea Lab.

Dr. Pauly is currently the Director of the Fisheries Centre at the University of British Columbia and one of the creators of FishBase (www.fishbase.org), a website with information on over 27,000 species of fish. He is widely considered one of the the world’s most prolific and cited living fisheries scientist. Dr. Bob Shipp, Chair of the Department of Marine Sciences at USA, states “Dr. Pauly has become an outspoken and at times controversial critic of modern fishing practices. He has suggested that marine fishers will leave little but jellyfish for future generations to eat, and he has blamed the Chinese government for inflating fish catch statistics and helping obscure a global overfishing crisis.”
