<p class=""><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'">On
Thursday, May 30<sup>th</sup>, the <b>Woods Hole Research Center</b> (WHRC) will
present the second lecture of its spring series on the current issues in
sustainability science. WHRC
Associate Scientist David McGrath will speak on the state of the world’s inland
fisheries,</span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'"> fisheries
co-management, and the challenges of managing small-scale artisanal
fisheries</span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'">.
Dr. McGrath’s talk will focus on </span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'">the characteristics of Amazon floodplain
fisheries, developing effective co-management systems for floodplain fisheries
in the Brazilian Amazon, the potentially conflictive relationship between
policies for aquaculture development and management of small scale fisheries in
developing countries such as Brazil, and the lack of support for the
conservation of inland fisheries, despite their importance for the conservation
of aquatic ecosystems and the livelihood of rural people throughout the
developing world.</span></p>

at 5:30 pm in the WHRC Harbourton Auditorium, 149 Woods Hole Road, Falmouth,
