The Marine Resource Education Program (MREP) [gmri.org] is accepting applications for the January 13-17 Greater Atlantic Fisheries Science and Management Workshop in Falmouth, Massachusetts.
MREP is designed to equip fishermen with tools to engage in shaping regulatory action and to participate in collaborative science. Created by fishermen, for fishermen, MREP brings commercial, charter, and recreational fishermen from North Carolina to Maine together with regional scientists and managers to learn the processes, share insights, and network.
The workshop is free and includes hotel lodging, meals, and travel reimbursement for accepted participants.
The Mid-Atlantic Council posted a news item about it here [mafmc.org] and here’s a direct link to the application [docs.google.com].
