If you were considering submitting an abstract for SCAS/IAGLR for our EDI session but didn't because you were only allowed to give one talk, you are now allowed to submit a second talk for sessions 7-11! (We're #10 🤓)
And you still have 2 days left to submit an abstract!

Hiding in a corner and working/ watching Jay's game at Cardero restaurant on Coal Harbour Vancouver. Last time I ate here I answered my phone and it was some of my students reporting that our research boat they were on was on FIRE. Fire was extinguished and everyone OK but still a memorable call!

We often think of fisheries management as being the role of the government fisheries manager. They certainly play an essential role but there is a diverse supporting cast. We discuss what that looks like here: cdnsciencepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...
