In recent years, many of our conferences have featured presentations highlighting the cultural importance of fish and the aquatic environment across diverse aspects of fisheries management. This event builds on that growing interest, offering a dedicated platform to explore the profound ways in which fish have shaped, influenced, and been represented in cultures across time and geography.
This unique two-day conference will bring together international speakers and delegates from the fisheries, heritage, academic, and cultural sectors. Sessions will feature a wide-ranging mix of themes from art, literature, and language to traditions, belief systems, social structures, architecture, and economic practices all centred around the enduring relationship between people and fish.
