NASCO Symposium
June 3, 2019 @ 12:00 am - June 4, 2019 @ 12:00 am
To mark the International Year of the Salmon, a two-day Symposium will be held ahead of the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization’s (NASCO) Annual Meeting, which in 2019 is being hosted by Norway in Tromsø. Attendance is open to all, and people connected with, inspired by or passionate about wild Atlantic salmon are encouraged to register. The focus will be on challenges facing the Atlantic salmon and possible responses that can help conserve this precious resource in a rapidly changing environment.
The Symposium is structured under two main themes:
Climate change and state of the salmon, with scientific overviews being provided on these subjects; and
Management challenges and solutions.
Perspectives will be provided from a number of different viewpoints, including managers, scientists, NGOs and Indigenous People. Participation in finding solutions to the many challenges facing this iconic species is encouraged through discussion, the provision of posters and networking during the event’s social activities.
