The Buckland Foundation Lectures and Colloquia.

Buckland Lectures and Colloquia are part of the ongoing activities of the Buckland Foundation, which organises open lectures on contemporary topics in fisheries or marine science in honour of the memory of Frank Buckland, a 19^th century Army surgeon, amateur naturalist, and Inspector of Salmon Fisheries from 1867-1880. Buckland pioneered public communication on rational fishing and on aquaculture, and in order to continue that tradition the Foundation was established in 1920 using the proceeds of the Buckland estate.

The Lectures

The topic ‘Securing the Supply of Food from Marine Fisheries’ will be discussed using recent marine fish stock assessment data to review how depleted EU stocks have reacted to stock recovery programmes.

The Colloquium also examines current changes in EU fisheries management and regional fisheries governance, and looks at climate change and a visionary scenario for fisheries in 2050.

This second Colloquium follows a successful opening event held at Fishmongers’ Hall, London, on 2^nd June this year. It follows in the wake of a first Colloquium held at Fishmongers’ Hall, London, in March 2013, which featured Professor Sidney Holt and Professor Ian Boyd on the subject of Maximum Sustainable Yield.
