Experiments in Community-based Environmental Science and Management Graham Daborn
Abstract: Management of the environment is a complicated process. It requires not only a great deal of knowledge and understanding about the environment itself, the nature and magnitude of both natural processes and of anthropogenic pressures, but also effective coordination between the public, knowledge holders, business leaders and government decision-makers. We have not done very well so far. Nonetheless, attempts have been and are being made to develop more effective partnerships between these groups, including here in Atlantic Canada. This talk will outline some of the attempts – including successes and failures.
Biography: Graham Daborn taught Biology at Acadia from 1973-2004, and intermittently to 2023. He was Director of the Acadia Centre for Estuarine Research (ACER) from its creation in 1985 to 2004, Acting Dean of Science (1995-6), and initial Director of the Arthur Irving Institute for the Environment. Research has focussed on the natural history of the Bay of Fundy, the effects of tidal power developments, and the prospects for community-based environmental management.
