The Energy and Fisheries Symposium is sponsored by NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA National Sea Grant, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, and the Pacific Marine Expo with technical participation from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The purpose of this symposium is to address improved efficiency and technological innovations from a global perspective with a focus on:
- Increased profits by reducing energy costs.
- Reducing the carbon footprint of fisheries production on the environment.
- Near and over the horizon energy saving technologies to reduce energy costs.
- Regulatory changes to reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Alternative fuels and distribution systems to reduce energy demands.
- Changes in boat, power plant, and gear design to increase fuel efficiencies.
