From Mundus Maris – Sciences and Arts for Sustainability – website: Stella Williams reports back from GAF3
The Shanghai Ocean University hosted the 9th Asian Fisheries and Aquaculture Forum (9AFAF) and several associated symposia from 21 to 25 April 2011. Working with and mentoring young people has been a staple for Stella Williams of Mundus maris, who also spoke at the 3rd Gender in Fisheries and Aquaculture Symposium organised as well in Shanghai. Stella gave an invited talk in the event and also seized the opportunity to show three posters specifically focussing on people in aquaculture – mostly women. Stella says, meeting the young people from the university was among the best parts of a very interesting trip.

Supported by AFS and FAO and their home institutions, 42 presentations were made by 38 presenters from 20 countries and all continents. Questions and discussions were very lively.
