Fishing and Benthic Habitats 2002: News & Updates

Blue Eyed Scallop, Northeast US shelf

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Symposium was held and was deemed a success by most attendees. A final count of close to 400 participants far exceeded the expectations. The field trips ran smoothly. Plenary sessions and poster presentations focused on all aspects of fishery activities and impacts, benthic habitat mapping technology, fish/benthos interactions, management and socioeconomic factors. The final panel session served as a forum for a lively discussion on lessons learned, keeping the attention of a full house. Over 50 contributions were received at the Symposium toward an early 2004 AFS publication based on the symposium topics.

If you have additional questions regarding the publication, contact tklein@fisheries.org or (301) 897-8616 x229.

Abstracts for the Oral and Poster Presentations can be viewed online.
