AwF is very pleased to announce that, as part of a new agreement with the World Aquaculture Society (WAS), the WAS Home Office is now kindly undertaking several administrative duties for us. These include the management of our volunteer and newsletter databases, the distribution of our newsletter and the tracking of our projects.

PROJECTS: New project proposals will continue to be considered by our Technical Advisory Group (TAG), chaired by AwF Director Geoff Allan. Those wishing to submit proposals for new projects should consult the webpage called 'Projects' and submit the forms to Carol Mendoza (carolm@was.org) who will ensure that they reach the TAG and will track their progress. Regular reports on current AwF projects should also be sent to Carol Mendoza (carolm@was.org), who will forward them to AwF Chairman Kevin Fitzsimmons for inclusion on our website.

VOLUNTEERS: Those who wish to volunteer should consult the webpage called 'Volunteers' and submit their forms to Carol Mendoza (carolm@was.org) who will enter their details into our volunteer database.

NEWLETTERS: Our newsletters will continue to be edited by AwF Director Scott Peddie but will be distributed by the WAS Home Office. Requests for copies should be sent to Carol Mendoza (carolm@was.org) and suggestions for content should be sent to Scott Peddie (s.peddie@pattersonpeddie.com).
