Announcement:

Because of COVID restrictions and for reasons of time, the 2020 IWS differed from earlier events in this annual series. It had to be held as a virtual rather than a physical meeting, and the material considered had to be limited. The questions posed to the Panel were developed by the Acting Chief Director of DEFF Fisheries Branch, who negotiated the format of the event with the Panel members.
