The 6^th World Recreational Fishing Conference (WRFC) will be held at
Humboldt-University Berlin from August 1 – 4, 2011 organized by the
Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries
(www.igb-berlin.de), Humboldt-University and the German Angler
Association. The conference theme is “Toward Resilient Recreational
Fisheries”. Abstract submission is now open and you are cordially
invited to submit your paper or register as a delegate without given a
paper to attend this unique scientific meeting in the vibrant and
culturally rich German capital during beautiful summer time of 2011.
*Please circulate this First Call for Papers widely in your network and
country including academia, management, NGOs and industry dealing with,
or interested in, recreational fisheries science, policy and management,
and consider submitting your paper to this important venue.*
The WRFC is the only scientific venue world-wide bringing together
scientists, managers, NGOs and policy-makers in the specific context of
recreational fisheries. The conference is a standard scientific meeting
with short scientific presentations and discussions in English without
any translations. Key note speakers are Dr. John Post, Brad Gentner and
Dr. Zeb Hogan. Please visit www.wordrecfish.org
<http://www.wordrecfish.org/> to learn about our esteemed key note
speakers and their lecture topics ranging from sustainability issues to
economics and conservation. The proceedings of the scientific meeting
are to be published after peer review in the impact factor journal
Fisheries Management and Ecology.
High-quality abstracts from a range of scientific disciplines as well as
management-oriented case studies dealing explicitly with issues in
recreational fisheries are strongly encouraged to be submitted. *We are
particularly seeking to bring together various scientific disciplines
such as fisheries biology, human dimensions, economics, anthropology and
policy sciences to encourage interaction across disciplines and between
science, management, industry and management practice*. See
*www.worldrecfish.org* <http://www.worldrecfish.org/> for further
details, including programme content, preliminary theme sessions and
contributed session topics. Please make sure to tailor your abstracts to
one of the various theme and contributed session topics. We will offer
sessions pending on the number of suitable abstracts received. The
issues covered are broad enough to accommodate a range of topical papers
and papers from both natural and social scientific perspectives.
*Abstract submission is possible until March, 1, 2011* (closing
deadline). You may also register preliminarily as an attendee without
submitting an abstract. Early abstract submission is preferred to help
in conference planning. Presentation format includes either 15 min.
presentation or posters. An international scientific board will be
evaluating abstract submissions and compose a preliminary programme
around theme sessions and contributed sessions. *Notification of
abstract acceptance will be completed until April, 1, 2011.*
You have to submit abstracts and register through the website
www.worldrecfish.org <http://www.worldrecfish.org/>. Please do not email
abstracts.
Registration by payment is not needed at this stage. A personal account
upon registration will be created, which can be used to finish the
registration by payment (deadline May, 15, 2011). We are currently
finishing the budgeting and the likely conference fees will range
between 200 and 400 € per person depending on student status. Details
will be announced later in 2011 at www.worldrecfish.org
<http://www.worldrecfish.org/>. There are currently no travel stipends
available, but as sponsoring money becomes available the conference
organizers consider developing a travel scholarship programme. Regularly
visit www.worldrecfish.org <http://www.worldrecfish.org/> to stay
informed about news. You may want to register to the newsletter updates.
