⏰❗ Only 2 days left! Submit your abstract and register early for the Global Symposium on Fisheries Management in an Ecosystem Context.

Hear from Beth Fulton, contributing to the session on Emerging approaches to fisheries management in an ecosystem context.

Beth Fulton is a Chief Research Scientist with CSIRO, leading work on aspects of integrated oceans stewardship, marine climate adaptation and the blue economy. Building on nearly 30 years of experience developing ecosystem and sustainability modelling tools, Beth’s keynote will dive into some of the principles at the heart of new methods moving fisheries management forward in an ecosystem context. She will tackle some of the core questions of ecosystem-based fisheries management: What does a healthy ocean look like? How much can we take, and how? Who gets what, and at what cost? ➡️ bit.ly/3TKsfYn

🐟 When the ocean changes, do fish shift where they spawn, when they spawn - or both?

A new Editor’s Choice article in ICES Journal of Marine Science brings together 23 years of larval fish observations, six long-term surveys and 16 species spanning Baja California to the Gulf of Alaska.

The findings challenge expectations: seasonal and geographic variability are largely uncoupled, and few species showed clear long-term shifts. Understanding how fish respond to changing ocean conditions means looking at both where and when they spawn - and why long-term, coastwide monitoring matters.

👤Get to know the keynotes speakers of FIMEC 2027 👤

⏰ With just 3 days left until the abstract submission and early registration deadline, we are continuing to introduce some of the keynote speakers of the Global Symposium on Fisheries Management in an Ecosystem Context.

Omar Defeo is a Professor at the University of the Republic, Uruguay. With more than four decades of research experience, his work focuses on fisheries and coastal social-ecological systems, with a focus on small-scale fisheries, the conservation and sustainable use of coastal resources, and the implementation of the ecosystem approach to fisheries. His research brings together ecological, social, and governance perspectives to understand how fisheries and coastal ecosystems respond to human pressures and climate change.

Help improve how we map vulnerable marine ecosystems.

Our VME database brings together data from scientific surveys, fishing records, and other sources. But these data vary in how they are collected and how reliably they indicate where vulnerable marine ecosystems occur.

This December, we are holding a Workshop on quantifying the likelihood of vulnerable marine ecosystem (VME) occurrence (WKVMEINDEX). This workshop will develop a more consistent and transparent approach to estimating the likelihood of VME occurrence, assessing confidence in those estimates, and identifying areas where data are limited.

ICES is looking for experts in statistics and probability, spatial modelling, species distribution modelling, and VMEs to contribute to this work.

📅 14–18 December 2026
📍 Copenhagen, Denmark
🗣️ Chairs: Ellen Kenchington and Andrew Kenny

ICES is benchmarking European eel.

The Benchmark Workshop on European Eel (WKBEEL) invites eel experts and stakeholders - including those from General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) and the European Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture Advisory Commission (EIFAAC) - to review available data and assessment methods and build a standardized, peer-reviewed framework for future ICES advice.

Two workshops will make up the benchmark
🌐 Data workshop 30 November–3 December 2026 📍Online
📊 Assessment workshop 22–26 February 2027 📍Sukarrieta, Spain
Register now for the data workshop https://www.ices.dk/community/groups/Pages/WKBEEL.aspx, which will examine new and existing data, assess methods for estimating the eel population and consider how best to establish reference points where the data allow.

❗Registration closes on 21 November 2026 https://www.ices.dk/community/groups/Pages/WKBEEL.aspx

👤Get to know the keynotes speakers of FIMEC 2027 👤

As we look ahead to the Global Symposium on Fishereis Management in an Ecosystem Context, we are introducing the keynote speakers who will bring their perspectives to the future of fisheries management.

At FIMEC, you will get to hear from Yong Chen, Professor of Marine Science at Stony Brook University’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. Central to this research is linking population and ecosystem processes to practical assessment and management decisions. He collaborates with scientists, managers, and fishing communities across North America and Asia to develop approaches that balance fisheries production, ecosystem resilience, biodiversity conservation, and livelihoods.

Congratulations to Vilda Griūnienė (Lithuania), Geir Huse (Norway) and Eggert Benedikt Guðmundsson (Iceland) who were elected to as the incoming Vice-Presidents.

With a new ICES Strategy for 2027–2032 in development and our 125th anniversary coming up next year, discussions also focused on future priorities, partnerships, and plans for the anniversary celebrations.
