The 39th annual meeting of the Alaska Chapter of the American Fisheries Society will be:
October 22-26 in Kodiak
The theme of the meeting is:
Ecosystem, Fishery and Food Sustainability in a Changing World
Continuing education courses will be offered at the beginning of the week, with the plenary, special, and contributed oral and poster sessions taking place mid and late week.
We are planning lots of social activities and community events. There are loads of great local attractions in Kodiak including the local brewery, canneries and seafood processors, windmill farm, waterfront and harbor, local artisans, Alaska Fisheries Science Center, and much more. As those of you that have been to Kodiak know, there are a lot of great outdoor activities that time of year too including hiking, wildlife viewing, silver salmon and halibut fishing, and hunting. Start planning now to take full advantage of what Kodiak and this meeting have to offer!
If you’re interested in organizing or chairing a special session, offering a continuing ed course, or helping with meeting planning, social activities, or local arrangements, please contact Chapter President Elect and Program Chair Mark Wipfli (ph: 907-474-6654; email: mwipfli@alaska.edu).
Hope to see you all in Kodiak this fall!!
