The Ocean Frontier Institute’s mandate includes knowledge mobilization and as part of that effort, we’re hosting a conference. Our inaugural event — called “Ocean Frontier 2018: North Atlantic Opportunities” — will be held Oct. 9-12, in St. John’s, NL.  The conference will examine the ocean of opportunity that OFI research is helping to discover in the North Atlantic. Learning about the ocean helps us understand our connections to the sea. It also identifies what’s required to responsibly develop our ocean resources while we take steps to protect marine ecosystems, reduce pollution and combat climate change.http://oceanfrontierinstitute.com/oceanfrontier2018
