Student Writing Contest

This contest represents a great opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to publish their work in popular format. The ability to translate scientific research into implications that are understood by a general audience is a skill that is highly sought by today’s employers. However this unique opportunity to publish in Fisheries is underutilized. Please help us to generate submissions by including this announcement through any opportunities you deem prudent. Progress towards this endeavor will undoubtedly fortify the significance of fisheries research while adding meaning and value to the students that pursue this opportunity. Please refer to the attached letter for more specific information regarding the contest. Submissions are due May 5. For additional details click here.
