It was a good read and made me think a lot about AFS plenary speakers and attended symposiums. After discussing it with fellow AFS members, the idea of celebrating science as it happens, and the bumps along the way, the failing successfully symposium was born. The target audience for this symposium would be anyone who has been scared to take the leap into a project for the fear of failing. Students and young professionals come to mind right away as they see their peers with 15-30 years\u2019 experience presenting on their recently published, NSF grant funded projects in a journal with an unbelievable impact factor. That is a daunting task to think that your potential project might not go the way it\u2019s planned, and you \u201cwasted\u201d time pursuing the results that never came. But, like most discoveries in science, something in the process could improve, contribute, or provide a catalyst for future fisheries scientists. Presentation slots will be given to those who are willing to present on projects that didn\u2019t go as planned. This could be an \u201cepic failure\u201d as they say or a project with unexpected results that contributed to the field of fisheries. It could also be a presentation focusing on a project that left you with more questions than answers. This type of talk would allow the audience to serve as an unbiased observer to give a new perspective on their subject matter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-header\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"accordion-title\">2023 MacGyvering II<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-content\"><h4>Description:<\/h4>\n<p>Innovative Problem Solving in Fisheries Science; Calling all tinkerers, inventers, and repurposes\u2026the \u201cMacGyvers\u201d of fish science.

This includes all fisheries professionals and all aspects of our profession. Disseminating and displaying fisheries data is an important part of communicating our science. The two major components of successfully achieving this are management of the data for access and dissemination and data visualization. Proper data management and data warehousing techniques are vital to creating an access layer from which data can be quickly and easily accessed by dashboards, applications, websites and other tools. Data visualization allows sharing of these data through graphs, charts, information graphics, maps and other visual objects. Thus, data management and visualization work together to communicate complex information in an engaging, accessible and understandable presentation. This symposium will bring together experts from both areas to demonstrate best practices and concrete examples of fisheries data communication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-header\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"accordion-title\">2017 Fisheries Data Management Skills and Techniques<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-content\"><p>Being updated..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-header\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"accordion-title\">2015 Managing Data to Meet Shrinking Budgets and Growing Needs (co-sponsor with OFWIM and PNAMP)&lt;br \/&gt;\n<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-content\"><p>Being updated..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-header\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"accordion-title\">2015 Developments in Low-cost Side Scan Sonar Application in Aquatic Research and Conservation (co-sponsored with Fish Habitat Section)&lt;br \/&gt;\n<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-content\"><p>Being updated..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-header\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"accordion-title\">2014 Gaining Better Understanding of Resources and Resource Users through the Application of Emerging Technologies (co-sponsored with Socioeconomics Section)<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-content\"><p>Being updated..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-header\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"accordion-title\">2013 Using Social Media To Improve Communication In The Fisheries Profession and Engage The Public (co-sponsored with ESAB)<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-content\"><p>Being updated..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-header\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"accordion-title\">2009 Mapping Distributions of North American Freshwater Fishes<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-content\"><p>Being updated..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-header\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"accordion-title\">2005 Geographic Information System and Geospatial Analyses in Fisheries Research and Management<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-content\"><h4>Description:<\/h4>\n<p>Applications of geographic information system (GIS) and geospatial analyses in fisheries research and management continue to increase as the technology becomes more familiar and available to fisheries scientists, managers and administrators.\u00a0 Recent symposia at the AFS annual meeting, independently-sponsored international symposia, and numerous publications, including the 2004 AFS publication <em>Geographic Information Systems in Fisheries<\/em>, illustrate the increasing integration of GIS in fisheries.\u00a0 As GIS software becomes more sophisticated and user friendly, applications of GIS in marine and freshwater fisheries have become more wide-ranging and useful for fisheries decision makers.\u00a0 Among the emerging GIS applications are modeling fish population characteristics, spatial analysis of subpopulation genetic patterns, evaluation of fish habitat preferences, risk assessment modeling, remote sensing of aquatic habitats, advances in habitat data collection, analysis of human dimensions information, integration of watershed factors with aquatic habitat condition, and Internet-based GIS applications.\u00a0 The objective of the symposium is to provide current applications of GIS and geospatial analysis in fisheries research and management.\u00a0 This symposium should be of great value to AFS members in that it will demonstrate how GIS is being used to help make decisions on critical fisheries issues and showcase state-of-the-art applications of GIS and geospatial analyses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-280","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","odd","first-child","last-child"],"wppr_data":{"cwp_meta_box_check":"No"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
