3rd World Small-Scale Fisheries Congress: call for abstracts

The 3rd World Small-Scale Fisheries Congress (3WSFC), which will be held in Chiang Mai, Thailand, on October 22nd-26th, 2018, is now calling for abstracts.

The 3WSFC is a transdisciplinary forum for anyone interested in small-scale fisheries to participate in a discussion about the future of the world's small-scale fisheries. The congress aims to facilitate interaction, information sharing, cross-fertilization of ideas and networking opportunities for participants. Thus, it will follow a dynamic format with activities organized around five theme days: science, community, policy, field, and action.

Abstracts can be submitted in three formats: individual papers, team papers or special sessions. Priorities will be given to abstracts that align closely with the main theme of the congress, 'Transdisciplinarity and Transformation for the Future of Small-Scale Fisheries'.

The deadline for abstract submission is February 15, 2018.
