The 1st General Assembly of the Ecopath Research and Development Consortium has been held on 7th of May 2012 in Edinburgh (UK), right before the 6th World Fisheries Congress. The meeting was a success, a new board has been elected and leading participants presented progress since the Consortium was extablished in October 2011. We will soon host presentated work here, and dedicated pages are in the works to provide better insights in the workings and activities of the Consortium. For now, check the status updates in Facebook, and stay tuned for further news.
