Emily Warren

I am originally from Ontario but moved to Vancouver Island after I completed my B.Sc. in Biology at the University of Prince Edward Island. I then completed a Diploma in Fisheries & Aquaculture at Vancouver Island University and an M.Sc. in Geography at the University of Victoria, where my M.Sc. research focused on the commercial feasibility of sea urchin aquaculture. From there, I became the Licence & Development Officer in the Environment & Sustainable Development department at Cermaq Canada, a salmon farming company that operates on Vancouver Island. In this position, I manage the licences and permits the sea sites and hatcheries need to operate, as well as environmental monitoring, regulatory reporting, and funding and development for new projects. I love being part of a sustainable food-producing industry that continually evolves to improve environmental performance and trial new technology.
