Celebrating 25 years of SC-AFS
On February 4 and 5, the SC-AFS and SCFWA held a very successful annual meeting at Santee Cooper State Park. Participation of 120 fisheries professionals and students from across the state and outside SC exceeded all expectations. The 27 quality oral presentations (8 by students) and 9 posters represented a variety of fisheries related projects and research. This 25th anniversary meeting of the SC-AFS was celebrated in the presence of our first SC-AFS president: Dr. Reggie Harrell, our first president-elect: Dr. John Mark Dean, and our first secretary treasurer: Dr. Jim Bulak, who were recognized during the business meeting on Monday afternoon. During the social many caught up with old friends and made new ones while enjoying some good food, drinks, music, and photo's from the distant and not so distant past. We hope to post a report of the meeting, including details of the business meeting and the social, on this website soon.
