Joint Annual Meeting of Oregon Chapter and Western Division – Portland, Oregon

4-7 May 2026

Meeting Theme: The Power of Perspective - The field of fisheries is a web of connections among humans, fish, and aquatic habitats, and no matter how you participate, you have a point of view. That view is shaped by the species and habitats you study, where you work, who you work with, your career stage, your personal background, and so much more. As we face unprecedented ecological, social, political, and economic stresses on our profession, how do we harness the power of our unique perspectives to move the field forward?  What relationships can we learn from, what knowledge can we provide, and what technologies have the potential to be transformative in building resilience, relevance, and respect in fisheries? For their 2026 joint annual meeting, the Oregon Chapter and Western Division AFS invite you to share your work and your perspective, because it matters.
