Salish Sea Rockfish Recovery Workshop, June 2011
The Rockfish Recovery in Salish Sea; Research and Management Priorities workshops on June 28-29, 2011 brought together scientists, managers, and industry professionals to focus on recent and on-going research and recovery efforts of rockfish and their habitats in the Salish Sea to enable further collaboration. This workshop specifically focused on rockfish in the Salish Sea because of its unique and diverse habitats, and its complex socioeconomic dynamics that influence rockfish research and recovery measures. The workshop was organized and supported by resources from NOAA Fisheries, the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the SeaDoc Society.
