Join us for an informative and important discussion on ocean stewardship and sustainable harvesting practices along our coastline.

This workshop will be valuable for those who are thinking of getting into spearfishing, fishing or harvesting, or who already are as a hobby or for work.

Information on what you can and can’t harvest can change each year. Aline Carrier, oceanographer, and conservationist, will dive a little deeper into the current protections in place and give some more insight into the reason why this is important for our local ecosystem.

During the workshop, the participants will learn about important theories behind ocean resources management and will be invited to question their harvesting practices. Is it truly sustainable? How could it be safer for the ocean? And how could they be safe as well?

They will also leave with tools helping them to tune in and live in better harmony with the marine environment.

We will also focus on our relationship with the ocean and during the break period, those who wish can take part in a short breathwork practice that is used by free divers. A great technique for relaxation in and out of the water.
