STEVE BERKELEY MARINE CONSERVATION FELLOWSHIP APPLICATION FOR STUDENTS
SYMPOSIUM ON SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES FOR HIGHLY-MIGRATORY LARGE PELAGICS
The Marine
Fisheries Section (MFS) is a professional, interest based, subunit
of the American Fisheries Society. The intent of the MFS is
to further the Society's objectives within marine fisheries science
and practice. MFS members wish to attain further knowledge about marine
fisheries, and to identify and publicize issues and problems related
to development and management of marine fisheries. MFS also addresses
research and education needs associated with biological, economic, social,
and other aspects of marine fisheries.
Through the MFS Newsletter,
and this web page, the Section:
- encourages and facilitates
the exchange of knowledge and ideas
- updates members on
current research, issues, publications, and meetings
- communicates Section
and AFS business and concerns
The Section also fosters
the exchange of knowledge and ideas through:
- organizing meetings/symposia
usually at the AFS Annual Meeting
- publishing conference
and symposia proceedings
- ad-hoc committees created
to comment on specific issues
To facilitate communication
among members the Section provides a periodically updated membership
directory.
This is a work
in progress by The Marine Fisheries Section of the American Fisheries
Society
