Whether it’s particulate and greenhouse gas emissions, collisions with wildlife or the introduction of invasive aquatic species, the environmental impacts of the maritime industry often go unseen.

She discusses how a new international collaborative research network spearheaded by the UBC Sauder School of Business will advance knowledge and contribute policy recommendations towards more sustainable maritime practices.
