IFM Partnership
Joint Student Membership
Given the importance that both organisations attach to encouraging and supporting new recruits, one of the initiatives is a Joint Student Membership. This will give student members of either organisation access to the student services of the other at no extra cost.
The aim is to broaden the membership base, improve communications amongst fisheries researchers, technicians and managers, and nurture careers.
