After a morning of catching up with emails I attended the
meetings of the two sections that facilitate the exchange programme with the
Institute. At both meetings I give an update on the situation over in the UK,
and with the Institute. In addition to the usual business of the section
(reports, officer elections), there were a number of items which are of
interest.
Later in the day we all assembled for the welcome social in
the Grand Ballroom. With over 4000 registered attendees it was, needless to
say, busy. I met up with the much travelled Professor Ian Cowx, head of Hull
International Fisheries Institute, and also Andy Turnpenny of Turnpenny
Horsfield Associates. There was a fantastic range of seafood available, as
would be expected in Seattle, including cod, mussels and oysters. During the
evening I also met up with Mark Bowen, who works with Andy Turnpenny and has
given presentations at our conference in 2009 and more recently at our screens
conference in March.
