“Challenges for HMS Management in the 21st Century” will be the theme of the 2008 Tuna Conference. Faced with an ever-growing demand for protein from the sea, climate change, and altered ecosystems, it becomes increasingly important to sustainably manage our fishery resources. This requires further advances in our understanding of the resources themselves and the role that international cooperation must play in the management and study of species that don’t recognize international borders. Additional challenges are associated with ensuring that science is the cornerstone of policy decisions despite inevitable national and international conflicts with social, political, and economic factors.
