As a profession grows and matures its members typically take a greater collective interest in the education of future members of that profession. Many members of the American Fisheries Society are now actively involved in a discussion of the status and future direction of fisheries education. There are many issues in fisheries education: curriculum, “training vs. education,” unemployment, role of theses, grade inflation, certification, accreditation, civil service requirements, teaching effectiveness, continuing education, and the role of “soft” funds in academia.
