Marine BioConnect 2026
SAALSMA Co-Chair Garry Goldsmith was proud to be part of the panel "First Nations perspectives on Sea Country" at Marine BioConnect 2026
The discussion explored the important role of First Nations knowledge systems, cultural history and meaningful partnerships in shaping the future of marine bioproducts.
These conversations are important to explore how marine bioproducts can create culturally aligned economic pathways that support community aspirations, strengthen stewardship of sea Country and deliver sustainable benefits for future generations.
Thank you to the organisers and fellow panelists for an engaging conversation about the future of marine innovation and the value of Indigenous-led partnerships
SAALSMA is committed to fostering partnerships that respect cultural knowledge, drive innovation and create enduring social, cultural and economic outcomes.
