ICES 2006
Bringing the World to New England and New England to the World
 

    
     This continental breakfast seminar provided an opportunity to learn how New England’s fishermen and scientists are joining, and in some cases, leading the global cooperative research movement. “ICES 2006” was a five-day symposium in Boston last fall that focused on technological, ecological, and socio-economical facets of mobile and static gear fisheries for finfish and shellfish. The meeting drew people from 31 countries, including local fishermen, scientists and others. Of the 147 verbal presentations and posters, many were based on cooperative research in the Northwest Atlantic, 23 of which were of projects funded by the Northeast Consortium. This Forum seminar recapped ICES, with project posters on display and presentations of symposium highlights.
