Workshops
Workshops are an important tool within the MAFCONS project framework. They not only bring together all the project partners to share ideas and experiences, but also provide a forum for external experts who are invited when appropriate. These experts in fields relevant to the subjects being discussed and developed, provide advice, act as external reviewers of the quality of the science being undertaken and, also, help to broaden the vision of the project.
External experts, who have attended or contributed electronically to the workshops held so far, include those from the fields of ecological theory and modelling, fisheries disturbance and fisheries management. They have come from institutes in countries ranging in distribution from Germany to Scotland to the United States and Canada.
