Your support is important to the future of the sustainability and success of the World Council of Fisheries Societies and is greatly appreciated. Because AFS is a tax-exempt organization and is providing no direct benefit in response to your gift, your contribution should be fully tax-deductible.
The 9th World Fisheries Congress was a success with 1,630 registrants, over 1,000 presentations, a fantastic trade show and a wonderful night at the Seattle Aquarium. Due to circumstances that we could not predict, including costs that were much higher than anticipated, we ended the conference with a financial loss. The burden of this is falling on the host non-profit, the American Fisheries Society. It also means that the key partners, the AFS International Fisheries Section and the World Council of Fisheries Societies, will receive no financial benefit from their significant support for the event. This means that they will have fewer resources to support their programs to advance the fisheries profession.
