Welcome to the
We are pleased to announce our call for individual presentations, special sessions, and webinar panel discussions for the 2021 IASC Fisheries and Aquaculture Commons Virtual Conference held online from March 9-11, 2021. This conference aims to bring together scholars and practitioners on the topic of fisheries as commons and facing uncertain futures for the world’s fisheries, with an additional focus on understanding aquaculture commons. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted global supply chains, slashed tourism, and eliminated many markets for fish and farmed seafood products, which has exacerbated many ongoing challenges and prompted diverse and often drastic reconfigurations in the organization of fisheries and seafood production.
In light of this crisis, it is more urgent and important than ever to share lessons learned about resilient fisheries and fish farming. Framing this conference around the commons is a point of departure that highlights the role of fishers, fish farmers, collective action, local institutional responses, and co-management policies, as well as the role of institutions nested across scales in solving global problems. The conference will cover broad topics related to the governance and management of fisheries and aquaculture ranging from co-management of marine protected areas to collaborative efforts for restoring ecosystems to the issues of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, aquaculture intensification and property rights, human rights, and transnational criminal networks analyzed through the lens of the commons (e.g., rivalrousness and excludability of resource access). We welcome contributions from academics and practitioners engaged in diverse approaches for studying and governing fisheries and aquaculture commons.
Conference presentations are intended to provoke discussion and will be a combination of pre-recorded talks as well as live webinar panel. We welcome proposals for speed-talks pitching one main idea (3-minute) or full-length presentations (10 minutes), as well as proposals for live webinars.
As one of a series of topically-focused web-conferences throughout 2021 organized by the International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC), we also will facilitate a discussion between fisheries scholars and managers, and scholars studying other sorts of commons.

TYPES OF
There are two forms of presentations: speed-talks pitching one main idea (3-minute) and full-length presentations (10 minutes). All presentations are prerecorded and those of similar topics will be grouped in sessions and participate in a dedicated webinar discussion. We allow for presentations in Spanish, French or Mandarin, besides English. The audience will be able to access the videos with subtitles and interact with presenters asynchronously on the comment section of the presentation as well as live on the dedicated session’s webinar. These interactions will be in English only.
A special session consists of at least four individual presentations (pre-recorded 10 minute videos). Participants interact asynchronously with the presenter in the comment section of individual presentations as well as live during a dedicated special session webinar panel.
The focus of a webinar is debate. Panelists may make short statements after which there is a moderated discussion during which questions from the audience are addressed. The duration of the webinar is 1 hour.
No hassle, costs, or carbon emissions from traveling. Attend the entire conference safely from home.

Welcome to IASC 2021 Fisheries and Aquaculture Commons Virtual Conference! We are excited to have you on board! Whether this is your first time attending a virtual conference, or if this is one of many that you have experienced, we would like to give you some tips to increase your focus and make the most of your time during this event.
When we attend an in-person conference, part of what makes it special is being away from home, office, and our usual daily routine. We suggest that you do the same for this virtual conference. Let your employers, students, colleagues, and family know that you are immersing yourself in this 3-day conference. We are offering real-time panel discussions and networking events. Get the real-time events that you want to attend onto your calendar first. Then schedule time for yourself to enjoy the pre-recorded presentations.
During this conference, we will be communicating in real-time through a Slack workspace with a variety of Slack channels. If you are not familiar with Slack, check out this tutorial.
Encourage friends and colleagues to attend the conference with you. Utilize the comment sections on the pre-recorded presentations to ask questions and create dialogues about various points of view. Schedule 1-on-1 virtual meet-ups with people you meet during our various events. Throughout the conference, a virtual meeting place will be available for you to interact with other attendees at any time. We will be using the wonder.me platform as discussed in “Conference at a glance”.
After the conference, the presentations will still be available to you. Live events will be recorded and posted for you to watch again. Stay connected to the participants you met while networking. If you are not an IASC member, consider joining and participating in future events.
