Objective

ICES,  PICES and the EU-funded project UNCOVER are inviting research scientists, managers, policy-makers and other stakeholders to present and discuss recent status and strategies for the recovery of overexploited fish stocks. Biological, ecological, modelling as well as socio-economic and management aspects will be covered. By exchanging information from the ICES and PICES areas and other parts of the world we hope to advance our know-ledge on how to achieve sustainable fisheries. The symposium should also serve as a forum to exchange ideas and views accross disciplines and between scientists, fishing industry and managers.
