Visitor Center Ocean has invited representatives from key governance actors to a short expert roundtable grounded in the content of our newest exhibit on the North Atlantic Cod.

Invited representatives engage with the exhibit's topic by asking questions and offering their perspectives on the topic. Team Ocean responds by explaining the research, framing, and assumptions behind the exhibit's topic.

What the roundtable is about

The discussion uses the exhibit as a starting point to explore how international ocean governance shapes ecological outcomes, decision making, and trade offs. The goal is not debate, but to expand the exhibit with perspectives visitors would not otherwise encounter.

Why this format

No exhibit can represent every perspective equally. This roundtable ensures that additional viewpoints can question, nuance, or expand on the exhibit’s framing, so visitors can hear multiple sides of the story.
