"Ecopath 25 years: conference and workshops" aimed to provide an overview of 25 years of progress using the Ecopath approach in different fields: fisheries management, ecosystem comparisons, spatial analyses, climate impacts, and ecosystem-based management as well as to introduce the new or under development exciting features. The gathering was intended to be an international scientific reunion on ecosystem modelling using the software Ecopath and Ecosim (EwE).
We hope you had a fruitful stay in Vancouver and a very exciting week at the "Ecopath 25 Years - Conference and Workshops" event!
