ACTIVITIES:
Due to planning work of the Committee, a successful and productive meeting was held during the American Fisheries Society (AFS) Annual Meeting on September 7th, 2011 in Seattle, WA. The discussion held during this meeting allowed the group to address how to best guide the future progress of this project, now that it had been approved. Major discussion points included: how to refine the project scope to be more cohesive and focused; project reporting and committee logistics; and planning for future activities. This meeting also resulted in the development of plans to organize a symposium at the 2012 AFS Annual Meeting. This symposium will be led by a group of collaborators from the project research team, and it focus on subject areas that pertain to the NC1189 project objectives. We will hold the next annual meeting to occur after this symposium, so it will also therefore help facilitate further refinement of the project's future focus.
