Tomorrow’s Catch:
Securing our Future Fisheries
About the series
Fisheries are at a crossroads.
From habitat loss and climate change to invasive species and declining water quality, our freshwater and marine ecosystems are under growing pressure. But a better future is possible — and across North America and Norway, individuals and organizations are leading the way in transforming how we manage and protect these vital resources.
This extensive series explores the essential role that fisheries science plays in preserving aquatic ecosystems, securing food systems, and supporting biodiversity. It spotlights the people and projects working at the intersection of innovation, conservation and community, advancing new technologies, restoring degraded habitats, and building resilience in the face of environmental change.
As the need for responsible resource management grows, Tomorrow’s Catch highlights the bold ideas and collaborative efforts driving progress. Through compelling stories and expert insight, the series explores key themes such as watershed restoration, climate adaptation, biodiversity conservation, best-practice aquaculture, next-generation talent, and policy advocacy.
From hatcheries to headwaters, and from coastal communities to cutting-edge labs, the future of fisheries is being shaped by those working to protect what matters most. Explore the full Tomorrow’s Catch series and discover how science, stewardship, and collaboration are securing our shared aquatic future.
