Paul completed a Master of Marine Science degree at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2018 where he focused on aquaculture and fisheries management looking at sustainable alternatives to pesticide use to help rid farmed salmon of the sea lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis. Paul has since become interested in the interdisciplinary aspect of aquaculture and is now a Master of Marine Management candidate. He will be investigating how historical factors have influenced the development and social acceptability of finfish aquaculture across Atlantic Canada. This work can help inform decision-makers towards a sustainable and socially accepted aquaculture industry in Atlantic Canada.
