AFS</a> is a professional organization dedicated to strengthening the fisheries profession, advancing fisheries science, and conserving fisheries resources. The Southern New England Chapter plans events to exchange fisheries science information in the states
of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. If you have never heard of the American Fisheries Society – the meeting in January is a perfect opportunity to learn about us!<br>
<br>
The meeting will feature four workshop options, two keynote speakers, four symposia, student activities, and contributed papers (oral & posters). Included with the price of 2 day admission is a banquet at the New England Aquarium.<br>

call for abstracts is now OPEN</a> and the deadline is <b>October 4, 2019</b>.<br>
<br>
The two keynote speakers include: Dr. John Farrell from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry talking about "<i>Longitudinal Studies & Research on the St. Lawrence River: Ecological Change, Habitat, & Fisheries</i>", and Dr. Lisa Kerr from Gulf
of Maine Research Institute will speak about "<i>Climate Challenges to Fisheries Management in a Rapidly Changing Ecosystem</i>". Four organized symposia will cover topics including "Big Rivers", "Research in Support of Sustainable Seafood", "Fish as Indicators
of Environmental Quality", and "New England Supporting Fisheries Reforms in China". <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Several student-focused activities will also be held, including a workshop and a student-mentor lunch. The workshop titled "<i>Student-Professional Mixer: Preparing for Successful
Recruitment as an Early Career AFS Member</i>" is designed to connect current fisheries students with a diverse panel of professionals to exchange advice, and to give students the chance to practice their interviewing skills with people who regularly participate
in the hiring process. This is a great opportunity for students to ask the important questions regarding employment in the fisheries field! For more information about student events please contact Christopher Sullivan
