HAPPENING FRIDAY AT THE MEETING
|
|
|
|
Following up on the release of the World Aquatic Societies Climate Statement and presentations by thought-provoking plenary speakers on Monday, we turn to actions we can take on climate as a Society, as a profession, and as individuals. Presentations will feature current AFS engagement, debut exciting new training opportunities to communicate climate impacts on fish, highlight policy developments, and discuss the current state of the science and future research needs. Learn how you can become a champion of fish and fisheries in the face of a changing climate!
