Deep Seas 2003 Conference

Events - Conference
01 Dec 2003 - 04 Dec 2003
In Dec. 2003 the Ministry of Fisheries, N.Z. and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Australia (AFFA), with the technical assistance of FAO, are to hold a conference in Queenstown, New Zealand, to identify and discuss the issues relating to present and future needs of science and governance for the management of continental slope and deep-sea fisheries and the nature of the future institutions that will be required to manage them, to ensure these fisheries remain sustainable. It is very much our wish that organizations that share the Conference's objectives join us as co-sponsors and so contribute to the manner in which the conference unfolds. Sponsorship can take various forms, e.g. agreeing to send a speaker(s) for appropriate sessions, assisting to fund participants from countries who cannot afford to attend, or even (c), using the event to have an associated meeting, before or after the main conference, to address an associated topic The conference is also open to participants who are interested in the topic and wish either to attend only in a 'listening capacity' or to who wish to provide a paper at one of the breakout sessions.
