The Symposium will be held over three days in the heart of majestic Vancouver, Canada during the splendor of Fall.
The International Year of the Salmon (IYS) Wrap-Up Symposium will be held in-person and provide an opportunity for salmon scientists, managers, and knowledge holders to build connections after an extended period of limited travel and virtual meetings.
The Wrap-Up Symposium theme will be ‘Salmon in a Rapidly Changing World: Synthesis of the International Year of the Salmon and a Roadmap to 2030.’
The International Year of the Salmon (IYS), a five-year initiative established in 2018 and governed by the North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission (NPAFC) and North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization (NASCO), has explored the conditions necessary for the resilience of salmon and people in a changing world.
The IYS is bringing together participants from academia, government, industry, NGOs and Indigenous organizations to consider the progress made by the IYS, and discuss the actions necessary to enable progress towards these conditions over the next decade.
The IYS Synthesis Symposium: ‘Salmon in a Rapidly Changing World: Synthesis of the International Year of the Salmon and a Roadmap to 2030’ is the culmination of over 13 workshops and symposia, three historic High Seas Expeditions and over 80 associated events across the North Atlantic and North Pacific basins.
The IYS Synthesis Symposium will have a strong focus on forward looking perspectives, with the ultimate goal of developing a Roadmap for the resilience of salmon and people through to 2030.
Presentations will be organized under five of the IYS themes:
Status of Salmon
Information Systems
Salmon in a Changing Salmosphere
New Frontiers
Human Dimensions
The synthesis papers and the presentations given during the Symposium will be used to identify critical knowledge or method gaps and potential solutions.
The Symposium will be hosted by The North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization (nasco.int) and The North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission (npafc.org).
