Super happy about this @ICES_ASC #WGFBIT week at the @Tvarminne Zoological Station, it has been a great opportunity to meet interesting people and work on (and also learn about) fisheries impact on benthic communities.
Also fell in love with finnish landscapes, what a country!
It's a wrap! Our last 2 stock assessment training courses are finished for the year!
Last month, participants learnt integrated stock assessment using Stock Synthesis & last week we held an intro course to stock assessment.

Congrats!
@DrJoseMFarinas @ATU_GalwayCity@MarineInst I would have loved to celebrate in person otherwise! For sure - if you think it could be done!! Thanks José😃
