About NZFSS
The New Zealand Freshwater Sciences Society (NZFSS) began as the New Zealand Limnological Society (Limsoc) founded in 1968. It adopted a new trading name in 2005 to reflect the broad interests of current and new members whose interests span freshwater science, education, conservation and management. The society aims to:
“establish effective liaison between all persons interested in any aspect of fresh and brackish water research in New Zealand, and to encourage and promote these interests”
The society achieves this by:
- holding workshops and annual conferences
- co-operating with other scientific bodies (see links to related sites)
- producing one newsletter per year
- maintaining a membership register
- communication through emailing list and public forum for members
- listing members’ interests
- listing relevant publications
