Join us as retired government scientist and policy analyst look at the intersection of fish and oceans science and policy making... and then how he's using his time now that he's retired.
It’s not often that any of us get to see the inside of science and policy work but today’s episode with Robert Day is just such an opportunity. Robert has recently retired from his management responsibilities in the Government of Canada where he spent more than 20 years in fisheries and oceans management, which included a lot of environmental and climate change discussions, many with international dimensions. Now that he’s retired, he’s continued to keep his hand in international fisheries discussions and also moved the needle on other activities dear to his heart – activities that also make a positive difference in our world, such as organizing his community's Audubon Christmas Bird Count. I hope you enjoy this episode, it's helped me to see the wide range of possibilities for me as I also consider moving into semi-retirement.
