Tuesday 19th November 2024 | Special Session | 2nd Trans-Tasman workshop on modern fish-protection screening: science, strategies, solutions
This special session will explore the future of modern fish-protection screening technologies. It will cover the latest innovations, challenges, and opportunities shaping the future of fish protection in aquatic environments and the sustainability of human water use. Topics will include interdisciplinary implementation of this best practice, emerging technologies and advancements in design and manufacturing, and the integration of ecological, economic, social, and cultural considerations. We will also revisit some of the key recommendations arising from our first workshop held in Christchurch last year. We invite researchers, industry experts, policymakers, water users and anglers to contribute insights and engage in forward-thinking discussions to guide the future of screening.
