American Fisheries Society-Sea Grant Symposium Series

2005; Anchorage, AK
Edited by: Alesia N. Read and Troy W. Hartley

Based on a September 2005 Sea Grant-sponsored AFS symposium, this book presents case studies, empirical research, and practical advice on innovative techniques used by cooperative partners working on cooperative fisheries research and/or management programs.

In addition to keynote speakers, the program incorporated panels consisting of an industry representative, a manager, a scientist, and a community participant. This format offered a broad range of perspectives, with panelists and keynote speakers selected for their many years of expertise and first-hand experience. Participants discussed lessons learned, characteristics of successful programs, and future opportunities.

This book will be a valuable resource for fisheries scientists, managers, fishermen, and other stakeholders interested in cooperative strategies for promoting effective fisheries management.
