This Thursday 2 March, Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) in Waterford is hosting a workshop with a twist — to play a serious game called DiadESland, about managing diadromous fish species.
DiadESland is an interactive role-playing engagement tool developed through the Interreg DiadES project. It gives stakeholders and managers an opportunity to discuss the impact of climate change on migratory fish, rivers and catchments through an imaginary environment.
Participants will team up and play the role of catchment managers, making management decisions to achieve a set of goals for their catchment.
It is an excellent opportunity for networking in an informal setting but with an important objective: to discuss the serious issues facing diadromous fish species in the context of climate change.
This session will also allow IFI to discuss future strategies and management recommendations.
EU Interreg AA funding allows for providing players with a fully catered workshop, and travel costs will be refunded (as required).
There is no requirement for expertise in fish or fish management to play the game and all sectors involved with fish management or commercialisation are warmly invited.
