In September the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) held their annual conference in Gateshead.
Hosted by GB Government and alongside Northumberland IFCA, the AIFCA sponsored the conference. The AIFCA joined the panel discussion for the opening keynote presentation by Louisa Evans of Exeter University, on advancing the frontiers of transdisciplinary marine science. The IFCAs research was very well represented on this international stage with presentations from Sussex IFCA and Northumberland IFCA. For the duration of the conference the IFCA welcomed scientists from around the globe onboard Northumberland vessel St Aidan. This provided an excellent opportunity to provide information about the work we carry out and to share insights into fisheries management & conservation practices, working to protect our seas.
