The SEAFWA conducts an annual
conference each fall to provide a forum for presentation of information and exchange
of ideas regarding the management and protection of fish and wildlife resources
throughout the nation but with emphasis on the southeast. Representatives from
state and federal agencies, citizen's organizations, universities, and private
wildlife research groups present their latest findings relative to resource management,
both through scientific research and actual case histories. Fisheries and wildlife
scientists present peer reviewed papers at their respective sessions, agency enforcement
personnel exchange information on tactics and mutual problems, agency attorneys
discuss the latest developments in wildlife law and other pertinent legal issues,
and information and education personnel address relative communication, marketing
and public relations matters. The conference provides a well balanced exchange
of ideas and information of significant benefit to the conservation community
in its efforts to manage fish and wildlife resources. |
