Annual Scientific Meeting 2008

The Application of Freshwater Science in Practice

15th – 16th July 2008,
The Worshipful Company of Fishmongers,
Fishmongers’ Hall, London

Themes
The FBA has always fostered a strong link between scientists and professionals in the freshwater community. The main aim of the ASM 2008 is to explore latest developments in science and investigate how these can be “put to work” in industry. Equally important is to learn how industry applies science in the day to day management of freshwater resources and to understand where the key future challenges lie and if science can provide the answers.

Whether you are a FBA Member, professional, researcher or enthusiast this is your opportunity to ask the questions;
