Sea lamprey webinar 22 April 2021

Last changed: 27 February 2024

In order to exchange knowledge, and receive necessary input from the scientific community the County Administrative Board of Halland County, Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management and SLU Swedish Species Information Centre planned an international seminar to be held in Falkenberg in late June 2020. The meeting was cancelled due to Covid-19. When it became clear that no real-life meeting could be arranged neither in 2020 nor in 2021, we decided to arrange a shorter webinar.

The webinar was held on the 22 of April 2021, and gathered 30+ participants from Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, France, Portugal, and Sweden. Participants were able to take part in 10 presentations covering topics as diverse as advanced genomics to public awareness campaigns.
