Megan grew up in London Ontario, completing her bachelors degree in Zoology at Western University. She then attended the Fisheries Centre at UBC to pursue graduate school, completing a Masters and Doctorate under the supervision of Dr. Rashid Sumaila. Megan鈥檚 PhD focused on solutions to global tuna governance through the lens of game theory and economics. Megan joins the Marine Affairs Program after a three-year Postdoc with the Environmental Policy Group at Wageningen University in the Netherlands where she helped to lead the and IFITT projects.听

Research Interests

Megan鈥檚 research focuses on how market and state approaches can combine to improve cooperation around global fisheries governance. Specifically, Megan combines game theory with concepts from global value chain and informational governance to investigate how value chain and traceability information can help to transform seafood governance processes. This work integrates notions of sustainability governance dealing with both production and consumption, and seeks to evaluate and understand the various opportunities and limitations of governing through different value chain nodes and in different geographical space. 听Megan鈥檚 research highlights the fact that both state (governments) and non-state (NGOs, industry, civil society) actors are key agents in governing seafood, and recognizes that collaboration of different stakeholders towards transparency and trust in global seafood value chains is necessary for cooperative and sustainable management.
