Welcome to NPIC, the local Chapter for Washington and British Columbia AFS members.

Check out the new issue of the NPIC newsletter, The Confluence.

OUR MISSION: The North Pacific International Chapter of the American Fisheries Society, which includes members in Washington and British Columbia, is an organization composed of professional biologists interested in the scientific conservation and enhancement of fish populations and their environment. The mission of the Chapter is to (1) advance the conservation and intelligent management of aquatic resources within a context of sound ecological principles, (2) gather and disseminate information pertaining to aquatic science and fisheries management, and (3) promote the educational and technical aspects of the fisheries profession. In pursuit of our mission, we will strive to equitably represent the views of members, develop opportunities for effective leadership and conservation, and generate the resources necessary to carry out our programs.

We have also started a listserve to distribute information from the Executive Committee to Chapter members. At this time the Executive Committee has decided to limit the use of this list serve. Right now the listserve is for Executive Committee communications to Chapter members only. Please refrain from using this list unless you get an ok from the listserve moderator-Jim Shannon. You may unsubscribe to the listserve at anytime by going to the NPIC listserve subscription page.
