Research topic: Shellfish Aquaculture and Public Health: How Will Climate Change Affect Seafood Safety?
Research theme: Resilience of Island, Coastal and Rural Regions
VIU is located in an island and coastal region, comprised mostly of rural communities, which have faced numerous and significant shifts due to globalization, climate change, demographic shifts, and population migration. These shifts have presented opportunities and challenges for the region, pressuring it to adapt and remain resilient. This theme captures VIU studies that profile the realities, adaptive responses and challenges of people, communities, and organizations in island, coastal and rural regions.
