Research summary

Dr. Megan L. Bailey’s research will work to define and study “seafood sovereignty” —the right of peoples to define and control their seafood systems in culturally appropriate, ecologically sustainable, and socially just ways. Sovereignty can be related to fish and seafood production or consumption. She will contribute to seafood sovereignty as it pertains to the sustainable seafood movement and to Inuit Nunangat, the Inuit homeland in Canada, including land, water and ice. Her goal is to contribute to equitable opportunities and outcomes in our use of marine resources.
