Frost was appointed as Consultant on 1 October 1999, moving from his previous
post of Senior Lecturer at the University of Southern Denmark. Phillip Rodgers
of CFER in the UK has also been contracted to assist with research activities. The
Institute is also seeking a new Researcher for their Fisheries Economics and
Management Division. The Researcher should possess PhD qualifications or
equivalent work experience (similar to Research Fellow status). The Researcher
will be concerned with working within the area of bio-economic modelling and
fisheries management implications. Further details can be obtained by contacting
the Fisheries Research Director, Dr. Jørgen Løkkegaard, on jl@sjfi.dk

Clay has changed her name to Patty Clayton, following her marriage in June.
Congratulations! Furthermore, in January 2000 she is moving to a new position of
Research Fellow with the University of Aberdeen (Land Economy Department) and
the Marine Laboratory, Aberdeen, where she will be developing innovative
approaches to fisheries management in Scotland from a socio-economic viewpoint.
In particular the research will be examining the importance of local
fisheries knowledge and assessing ways to incorporate this knowledge into
fisheries management. CEMARE,
UK Joan
Baron is leaving CEMARE at the end of November to take up a post as Information
Manager for the 'OneFish Community Directory'. OneFish
(www.onefish.org)
is being developed at SIFAR - the Support unit for International Fisheries and
Aquatic Research at the FAO (UN) in Rome. The powerful new software has the
potential to become the best platform for improving collaboration and
information flows in fisheries research and it will revolutionise the sharing
and dissemination of knowledge amongst specialist workers in the fisheries and
aquatic resources research community. What will make OneFish so special is that
through the mechanism of volunteer editors, subject matter specialists (like
yourselves) will be given the tools to edit and enrich OneFish topics. SIFAR,
through FAO, will be providing the OneFish service free of charge when it is
launched early next year. I
have very much enjoyed my time at CEMARE and meeting and working with various
members of EAFE throughout that period. Now that I am going to be involved in
such an exciting and innovative project for the fisheries research community, I
plan to keep up my links with everyone at CEMARE and those involved in EAFE. So
there will be more news of SIFAR and OneFish to come. If
anyone wishes to contact me in the meantime you can do so on my home email
address, ajvarley@compuserve.com. Joan
Baron, CEMARE
