Note from the President Elect:
I am pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 32nd meeting of the Tidewater Chapter of the American Fisheries Society. The meeting will be held in Morehead City and Beaufort, NC on January 25-27, 2018.
The Tidewater AFS EXCOM is pleased to announce some exciting, new modifications to the meeting format for 2018. Two choices will be given for student talks this year. A 3-minute “lightning” talk, suitable for students who have topics and methods for their research projects, but no results. There will also be the option to choose a traditional, 15-minute talk for student projects that are further along.
Here are some other highlights of the meeting:
Roundtable Panel Discussion at the Carteret Community College Civic Center, Morehead City, January 25th. Topic: ''Using citizen science to improve information for US South Atlantic federal fisheries."
Poster Social, January 25th, Center for Marine Science and Technology, Morehead City.
Plenary, Professional, and Student Talks, January 26-27th, NC Maritime Museum, Beaufort.
Student-Mentor Lunch, January 26th.
Awards banquet and Social, January 26th, Core Sound Waterfowl Museum, Harkers Island.
