Building Resilience: Investments in Fish Passage, Habitat Restoration, and Hatchery Modernization
The American Fisheries Society’s Western Division and the Colorado-Wyoming Chapter are excited to host their annual meeting on May 11-15, 2025 in Westminster, Colorado. The meeting theme is “Building Resilience” to highlight the substantial investments, such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, Inflation Reduction Act, and other funding initiatives, that are being allocated in the US and Canada to enhance fish passage and habitat restoration projects in an effort to increase resilience in fish populations and their ecosystems. Concurrently, government agencies and private aquaculture are focusing on modernizing existing hatcheries and designing new facilities to withstand future climate challenges. Our meeting will feature an exciting plenary and sessions related to the meeting theme, and we also welcome sessions and contributed papers and posters that advance the fisheries profession.
Abstracts can now be submitted for a live, in-person presentation. We are accepting presentations on any topic (contributed papers and posters) and for approved symposia. Symposia descriptions are posted on the Symposia page. More information on abstract submissions can be found on the Abstracts page.
