The annual meetings of the American Fisheries Society’s (AFS) Northeastern Division (NED) provide a vital forum for fisheries professionals, students, and resource managers to share research, exchange ideas, and strengthen regional collaboration. These gatherings are typically held each year and may be organized independently or in conjunction with other AFS Division or Chapter meetings, as well as the National AFS Annual Meeting.

Check out the Upcoming Meetings page for the most up-to-date information on meetings. This year’s meeting location TBA.
