Continuing Education is an important and growing part of the American Fisheries Society, fulfilling the Society's mission to help fisheries scientists develop professionally and learn continually.

You will eventually be able to access your continuing education records and take additional courses online.  The Distance Education Plan provides detail regarding the AFS's strategy for teaching from afar. Please be patient as we develop this service.

Past Continuing Education courses are partially documented, while most upcoming courses are featured on the Annual Meeting website.  To seek approval for a new Continuing Education course, please complete the Course Approval Form.
