The Dutch Elasmobranch Society has organized the 21st European Elasmobranch Association Scientific
Conference from 12th-14th October in Amsterdam, the
Netherlands. The conference will include a diverse programme of lectures and breakout sessions on key topics in the
study of cartilaginous fishes.
This year’s theme will be “The
science you need, for the policy you want” to address one of the main
objectives of the EEA which is to bridge the gap between scientists and policy
makers and thus ensuring management of elasmobranchs is based on the best
available science. The programme will include the following theme sessions:
- perspectives for spatial management;
- movement ecology and its role in monitoring elasmobranch populations;
- implantation of international legislation and policy;
- selectivity, survival and discards of elasmobranchs in fisheries For more information, visit www.elasmobranch.nl/eea2017
