From June 11-14, 2025, the Marine Resource Education Program (MREP) workshop was held in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. This program is a neutral platform where commercial and recreational fishers can learn practical aspects of fisheries science and management, share different perspectives and tools for effective participation, and connect with key people in management, science, and the broader fishing community. Laboratory activities, talks, lectures, exhibits, discussions, and group dynamics are part of the workshop offerings.
