                              The American Fisheries Society’s Southern Division Meeting is being hosted by the Society’s Mississippi Chapter. This annual meeting is the premiere gathering place for fisheries professionals throughout the southeast.  Each year, 350 to 400 individuals (fisheries scientists, resource managers, agencies, universities, students and industry) attend this meeting and share information through talks, posters, workshops, and informal socials.  We pride ourselves in providing opportunities for student participation and mentorship in our society. Please go to  http://www.sdafs.org/meetings/2012/default.htm   for information about the meeting which will be held at the IP Casino Resort and Spa in Biloxi. Information continues to be added to the site on a timely basis.

Mark Peterson, Kevin Hunt, Nancy Brown-Peterson and a host of other committee chairs are working diligently on plans for the 2012 Southern Division spring meeting in Biloxi.  The Mississippi Chapter invites everyone to the 2012 Southern Division Spring meeting on the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast.  The event will be held at the newly renovated conference facilities at the IP Casino Resort and Spa in Biloxi, MS January 26-29, 2012. The IP is a 4-diamond resort with numerous restaurants, lounges, a full-service spa, fitness center among many diversions, and, of course, the casino.  For those not interested in gaming, the Mississippi Gulf Coast offers charter fishing opportunities, a thriving eco-tourism business, award winning golf courses, and art and historical sites, including Beauvoir, the last home of Jefferson Davis. 

Registration and Abstract Submission for the 2012 Spring Meeting are both open and can be completed through the Registration and Submit Abstracts links.
