Announcing the NAAFE Forum 2013 Speaker: Dr. Ray Hilborn of the University of Washington -- “Measuring the Impact of Fisheries: Moving Beyond "Overfishing" to Include Economic, Social and Environmental Consequences”
NAAFE is an international group of industry, government and academic practitioners of fisheries economics. The purposes of NAAFE are to facilitate communication among North American fisheries and aquaculture economists in industry, academia, government and other areas, to promote dialogue between economists and others interested in fisheries and aquaculture, and to advance fisheries and aquaculture economics and its useful applications.
