]]>Theme: “Communicating the Science of Fisheries Conservation to Diverse Audiences”
Highlights (see links at bottom of the page):
WHY: Every year AFS members and others representing the fisheries sciences and related professions gather to share new research and to make connections. Participants come from around the country, and from outside the U.S. (e.g., Canada, Mexico, and China). While the majority of our conference is education-related, we host dozens of professional networking events as well as those for students, fishery scientists, and others.
