The AFS Western Division and the Oregon Chapter are excited to host a joint annual meeting in Portland, Oregon, from May 4 to 7, 2026.  The theme of the meeting is “The Power of Perspective.” The field of fisheries is a web of connections among humans, fish, and aquatic habitats, and no matter how you participate, you have a point of view. That view is shaped by the species and habitats you study, where you work, who you work with, your career stage, your personal background, and so much more. As we face unprecedented ecological, social, political, and economic stresses on our profession, how do we harness the power of our unique perspectives to move the field forward?  What relationships can we learn from, what knowledge can we provide, and what technologies have the potential to be transformative in building resilience, relevance, and respect in fisheries?

Registration is now open. Please make your plans to attend at your earliest convenience by visiting the meeting web site Annual Meeting – Oregon Chapter of the American Fisheries Society. Rooms at the venue can be reserved at https://book.passkey.com/e/51065163.
