Australia’s seafood and aquaculture sectors are strongest when we learn from one another. This events calendar brings together workshops, webinars, conferences and community gatherings from organisations across the country, not just Sea Change Australia.
Each event is an opportunity to learn from others, contribute your experience, and strengthen the collective response to climate-driven change across Australia’s fisheries and aquaculture sectors.
Whether you work on the water, in policy, in research, or simply care about the future of our oceans, you’re invited to explore what’s on and get involved. By participating, you’re helping grow a more informed, connected and climate-resilient seafood community.
Hear from Matt Weaver, Head of Climate Risk & Resilience at Howden Australia, on how aquaculture businesses can manage exposure to natural hazards and unlock investment in adaptation through insurance solutions that align with resilience strategies.
