Anchorage, Alaska, USA

 Call for abstracts, due November 30, 2012, http://seagrant.uaf.edu/conferences/2013/wakefield-arctic-ecosystems/call.php

Alaska Sea Grant, University of Alaska Fairbanks, and other sponsors will hold a 3.5-day Wakefield Fisheries Symposium, to advance understanding of present and future responses of arctic marine ecosystems to climate change at all trophic levels.

Organizers encourage contributions that focus on collaborative approaches to understanding and managing living marine resources in a changing Arctic, and to managing human responses—locally, regionally, and globally—to changing arctic marine ecosystems.
