FAME Graduate Student Network
for Fisheries and Marine Ecosystems
The
primary objective of the FAME Graduate Student Network is to facilitate
communication among graduate students studying the science and
management of fisheries and marine ecosystems. Currently there is no
framework to address the collective needs of graduate students in this
field. The FAME Network will fill this gap by:
- instituting a yearly conference to bring together graduate students studying the science and management of fisheries and marine ecosystems;
- publishing a synopsis of the annual conference on the web,
summarizing research directions and collective views for the future of
fisheries science and management;
- establishing a website to link graduate student programs, so students can find out about research by students with similar interests at other schools;
- informing graduate students from other schools about local conference and employment opportunities;
- acting as a focal point for employers to advertise fisheries-related jobs.
