Researchers at Vancouver Island University are baffled that a Canada goose they tagged five years ago has been spotted nearly 3,000 kilometres away in Chicago.
As climate change causes more extreme temperature events, heat waves have the potential to hit marine environmentsespecially hard. The impacts could be especially dire for humans, as we increasingly turn to aquaculture as the best hope tofeed a global population speeding toward 10-billion people. Researchers at Vancouver Island University are leading an investigation to study the effects of heatwaves on farmed finfishand shellfish to learn how farmers can improve crop security in an uncertain future. “The world is changing, and we must make informed decisions to change with it successfully,” Dr. Dan Baker, a VIUFisheries and Aquaculture Professor said. “British Columbia has a crucial part to play in providing food to Canada and therest of the world in this future, and we believe we can help by addressing challenges in aquaculture industries hit hard byproblems created by climate change and other anthropogenic activities.”
