Theme
The theme of this year’s conference is “Marine ecosystems under pressure: reduction, reinforcement and reconciliation to improve human populations quality of life”. Join us in Guadeloupe, French West Indies, to exchange ideas and perspectives about new research, emerging issues, scientific breakthroughs, and governance related to fisheries science, industry, conservation, and management. As we look forward to sustainable fisheries, it is necessary to examine options, paths, and barriers. Considering this, we are preparing a program composed of an opening plenary, general sessions, workshops, and technical sessions related to sustainability, fish and aquatic ecosystems, fisheries and society, and innovations in fisheries. We will bring together experts, academics, policymakers, managers, and relevant organizations interested in marine issues, natural resources, sustainable fisheries, and tourism.
