BoFEP Biennial Workshops
Approximately every two years BoFEP members get together to participate in a two or three day science workshop. Normally we try to alternate between venues in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The workshops are an opportunity to share research results, discuss ongoing research and conservation activities and consider new ventures, as well as to socialize with colleagues and friends.
Workshop objectives:
- Share information and knowledge by paper and poster presentations;
- Consider selected issues/concepts in panel discussions, roundtable sessions and networking
- Share knowledge with community groups, high school science teachers and senior students
- Recognize particular achievements by individuals
- Foster public interest in the Bay of Fundy and the issues confronting it.
- Convene the Annual General Meeting of BoFEP
