Common use of Workshop Format Clause in Contracts

Workshop Format. The workshop was held on November 7, 2004, in conjunction with the International Fisheries Observer Conference, November 8-11, 2004, in Sydney, Australia (▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇). The workshop had a combined presentation and discussion format. During the first half of the workshop, the conveners outlined the objectives of the workshop and provided brief overviews of bycatch reduction research and data collection recommendations relevant to protected species (marine mammals, sea turtles, and seabirds). This was followed by a presentation of the primary results of the pre-workshop surveys. Following a discussion period, the workshop participants broke into smaller working groups to discuss the results of the survey and validate the results against their own experiences. The group then reassembled to review the work of the break-out groups and develop an overall set of recommendations on best practices for data collection. There were 42 workshop participants, including observer program staff, fishing industry representatives, data users, resource managers, and observers, representing a broad diversity of programs from around the world (the list of workshop participants is provided in Appendix A, and the workshop agenda is provided in Appendix B).
