NAFO/ICES Symposia

For many years, the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) has co-sponsored symposia with the International Council for the Exploration for the Sea (ICES) covering topics which are pertinent to both regional fisheries management bodies. In addition to decadal hydrographic variability symposia, which are described in the following publication, history_ICES_NAFO_symposia_Malkki_ICESJMS_2012.pdf, examples of the proceedings from jointly sponsored symposia, as well as NAFO-sponsored symposia, are presented below:
