GCFI Special Session & Workshops

Special sessions and workshops provide an informal setting where participants have the opportunity to discuss technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas. A special session/workshop should offer professional development/educational opportunities for conference participants. Workshops may be research-focused (e.g., insights on new methodologies in research) or specific topic or species-base studies (e.g. Nassau grouper, spawning aggregations, megafauna etc).
