Held from October 8-11, 2024, the 7th International Billfish Symposium convened more than 100 leading billfish scientists, fisheries managers, and anglers from nine nations for three days of oral presentations, poster sessions, and panel discussions. The Symposium marked a milestone as the most successful to date, culminating in ten peer-reviewed articles published in the ICES Journal of Marine Science, an achievement made possible through the support of the IGFA, Wild Oceans, and Symposium sponsors. Click here to learn more about the Symposium and check out the publications, including those by IGFA Conservation Director, Dr. Bruce Pohlot, and IGFA Conservation Programs Manager, Jackson Martinez. We are proud to support the advancement of critical research topics for billfish, their fisheries, and global management needs. We thank the many sponsors who helped the Symposium come to fruition, especially this year’s Grand Sponsors, the MidAtlantic Tournament/South Jersey Marina and NOAA Fisheries Service. We would also like to thank our Location Sponsor at Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute.
