IIFET DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD
The Executive Committee of the International Institute of Fisheries Economics and Trade established the IIFET Distinguished Service Award in 1990. The award is given every two years at the IIFET Biennial Conference, to an individual who exemplifies the following criteria.
A primary goal of IIFET is to improve interaction between academia, trade, and government officials in all countries about fisheries policy and factors which affect international trade in seafood. The Distinguished Service Award will thus be given to an individual who has made significant contributions and had an important effect on the ability of individuals of these different professional orientations and countries to exchange information, data, and perspectives on fisheries issues. A further consideration in choosing the recipient will be the individual's contribution to the theory and/or application of economic science to international fisheries industries, trade, management, and/or policy.
