In late April and early May of 2002, over 840 individuals from throughout the Columbia River basin, including youth participants, academics, scientists, government and First Nations representatives, professionals, politicians, policy-makers, environmental groups, and concerned citizens, attended the five-day conference in Spokane. It was the third in a sequence of transboundary conferences that was launched with a workshop in 1994 and then evolved into a larger conference in Castlegar, BC, in 1998. The 2002 conference, Toward Ecosystem-Based Management: Breaking Down the Barriers in the Columbia River Basin and Beyond, focused on the theme of transitioning toward ecosystem-based management of fish and wildlife resources throughout the Columbia River basin. The results of the conference were summarized in the conference highlights and the conference review and call to action.
