University of Surrey ESRC Festival of Social Science 2022&quot;Navigating change in coastal livelihoods: a multi-stakeholder dialogue between fishing and tourism&quot;10th November 12 - 1.30pm - OnlineWhat is on offer?In this 90-minutes online event, we will explore the ways in which fishing and tourism co-exist in coastal communities. An expert panel of researchers and practitioners will share their experiences and insights about the fishing industry, social change, marine tourism diversification and how this relates to local people&#x27;s lives and the wider Blue Economy. An opportunity to ask questions and reflect on what opportunities might exist to strengthen the relationship between fishing and tourism, and what actions and support might be needed to put this into action will then follow.What&#x27;s it about?We invite you to engage in a lively conversation between diverse stakeholders from across the marine and coastal sector to jointly explore the challenges and opportunities for people living and working around the coast. Diversification into tourism is often suggested as a potential solution for the increasing concerns over the declining fishing opportunities in the UK as well as internationally. As such transitions are neither easy nor necessarily straightforward, in this session we are aiming to expand current discussions on social change and livelihood transitions in coastal communities by hearing a range of different perspectives on what it means when fishing meets tourism and how these encounters can be mutually beneficial. You may wonder why the issues of coastal areas (and their potential solutions) are relevant to those of us who live more inland? Are there commonalities relating to social change and livelihood transition? We will bring some ideas to the table, but we want to hear your thoughts too!Who is leading the event?Dr Anke Winchenbach, Lecturer Hospitality Tourism &amp; Events, University of SurreyWho are the panel members?<ul><li>Dr Emma McKinley, Research Fellow, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Cardiff University</li><li>Dr Julie Urquhart, Associate Professor in Environmental Social Science at the Countryside and Community Research Institute (CCRI), University of Gloucestershire</li><li>Dr Alex Chapman, Senior Researcher on the economics of climate change, nature recovery and inequality, New Economics Foundation</li><li>Dr Edward Hind-Ozan, Head of Fisheries Social Science at Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs</li></ul>Who is it open to?Everyone is welcome.Who will it be of interest to?This event is open to everyone but might be particularly interesting for people living and working in coastal communities, fisheries and tourism managers and policy makers, local authorities, researchers and research councils.For more information about the ESRC Festival of Social Science 2022 and other events being delivered by the University of Surrey, <a href="https://festivalofsocialscience.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">please visit this website</a>
