Call for abstracts and early registration open for Wakefield Fisheries Symposium
Call for abstracts
We want to hear from fishery researchers, managers, and other professionals at the 2024 Wakefield Fisheries Symposium. This is your chance to share your knowledge, experience, or research related to shifting distributions and phenologies as well as implications for fisheries. The Symposium will provide an opportunity to discuss how political, jurisdictional, and survey management structures can adapt to environmental changes and shifting species distributions. Participants worldwide are invited to share case studies and contrast approaches in different regions.
All are invited to submit abstracts by Feb. 13 for oral or poster presentations. Session topics will include fish and shellfish species shifting distributions, fisheries sustainability and adapting management structures in a changing climate, management and regulatory boundaries in fisheries, human dimensions, modeling shifting distributions, and more.
Early-bird registration is open
Registration is now open for the 33rd Lowell Wakefield Fisheries Symposium. An early-bird registration fee of $450 is available through Monday, March 18.
