recent trip to India for the meeting on Recent Advances in

March 1, 2010

 Papers delivered by SMS grad students, Charlene Bergeron and Mahima

Jaini were very well received. In fact, Charlene's received the Best

Student Paper award. Our travel and participation in the 5-day

conference was supported by the Indo-US Science and Technology

Forum. We were the only US deligates in a field from India,

Australia, Japan, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, Spain, Norway,

Israel, Mexico, Canada. Time will tell, but the conference looks to

have opened new doors for collaboration between oceanographers,

ecologists and fisheries scientists interested in environmental

drivers of fisheries in the Indian Ocean, especially the Arabian Sea,

a region of particular interest with respect to climate change impacts.
