As a Master of Marine Management Candidate at Dalhousie University, Scott’s research project – The Cost of Doing Nothing – aims to quantify the economic and social impacts of consistent overfishing of tuna populations in the Indian Ocean. In his research, Scott will employ a cost-benefit analysis to determine the underlying effects of Indian Ocean Tuna Commission management decisions on the social, economic, and environmental pillars of sustainability. With the support of the Sustainable Fisheries and Communities Trust, the Bailey Lab, and Ocean Nexus, Scott is excited to apply his traditional science background to the more interdisciplinary fields of management and fisheries economics.
