Outline Who we are (how we describe ourselves) How we relate to our community Greater Opportunities for VIU
VIU University of Coastal Communities Visionary Goal Through the promotion of excellence in learning, we inspire our students and the people of Vancouver Island and coastal British Columbia as a trusted educational partner in the search for sustainable cultural, economic, environmental and social prosperity.
Sustainable Ocean Food Systems Network Centre for Shellfish Research International Centre for Sturgeon Studies Institute for Coastal Research (social) Fisheries and Aquaculture teaching programs Collaborations with Trades programs and other research groups unique blend of synergistic capacities which include: research (life sciences and social sciences); education and training; technology development and innovation; knowledge dissemination, training, outreach and apprenticeship, and public engagement
Why do we care about shellfish? The links between industry, academia and conservation are obvious for shellfish; they indicate sustainable coastal communities. When we lose shellfish and shellfish industries, it is a sure sign that environmental degradation threatens the very essence of coastal communities with their strong sense of place and the sustainable use of its resources. Michael W. Beck, Ph.D. Senior Scientist, The Nature Conservancy, Global Marine Initiative, Letter of Support to CSR Deep Bay Oct .2008
What motivates us thinking globally How will we feed a world destined for 10 billion people? More than 85% of global fish stocks fully or over exploited We require 80 MMT or another global ocean by 2030 for future population estimates. Aquaculture now 50% of all seafood consumed - must double How do we meet this demand sustainably? 53% 32% 12% 3% Will this create opportunities for coastal BC?
What motivates us thinking locally Supporting change from resource extraction economies to knowledge based resource economy Supporting the 100+ year shellfish farming industry Opportunities for First Nations Promoting industry sustainability Environmental Economic Social Preserving marine ecosystems Low carbon industries
Project based funding - Who funds us? Government Agencies Environmental NGOs, Conservation Organizations Industry and commercial clients Provincial and Federal academic research grants Public and private donors Funds raised through public education and event hosting activities. NOT by traditional AVED / VIU Teaching funds
Thinking locally drawing linkages Responsible Coastal Development High Quality Food Healthy Marine Ecosystems Sustainable Industry

  3. During the design development process an energy analysis was conducted to determine the predicted energy efficiency. A reference building based on the requirements of Natural Resources Canadas (former) Commercial Building Incentive Program (CBIP) was used to compare to various design options. The final design anticipates that GHG emissions are estimated to be 54.6 tonnes/year, a 15.5 tonnes/year (22%) reduction compared to the baseline building design (70.1 tonnes/year). The current building design is expected to provide a decrease in annual electricity use by 44 MWh/year ($2700 annually, a reduction of more than 75%).
