Steve McMullin, AFS president, presented the award at the meeting’s plenary session. This is the fourth annual class of AFS Fellows. Recipients are recognized for their many years of service to AFS and the fisheries profession.
“We applaud the distinguished contributions of Steven Cooke and thank him for his continuous efforts to the fisheries profession,” said McMullin.
