Genomics Project:
Consortium for Genomics Research on All Salmonids Project (cGRASP)

To address the ethical, economic, and social issues of the scientific research, cGRASP researchers will collaborate with Patricia Gallaugher at SFU's Centre for Coastal Studies and the W. Maurice Young Centre for Applied Ethics at UBC. The Centre for Coastal Studies hosts science-based workshops with a focus on sound policy for sustainable resource management. cGRASP will co-sponsor a series of 'Speaking for the Salmon' workshops in various locations to discuss the management of wild salmon for conservation and protection of biodiversity.

The cGRASP researchers will also work with the UBC team to help understand how people incorporate worldviews and norms to make moral decisions about a policy. This work will also seek to determine what makes different judgments understandable.
