Although not 100% fishing related, I found this quite interesting and thought the readers maybe interested.

Habitat JAM
December 1 – 3, 2005
72-hour internet event

Imagine tens of thousands of people around the world just like you connecting in real time over the internet to discuss and debate some of the most urgent and controversial issues that face a rapidly urbanizing planet. Imagine world-class thinkers leading the discussions. Imagine the results that could be achieved by this unprecedented global conversation and collaboration. This is Habitat JAM.

There are six forum topics to be discussed:

• Improving the lives of Slum Dwellers
• Sustainable Access to Water
• Environmental Sustainability
• Safety and Security
• Finance and Government
• Humanity: The Future of our Cities

The Habitat JAM is about adding your voice into the global conversation about the future of our cities. It's about having your say on important issues that affect you. It's about building new global networks of people who wouldn't have connected before. It's about working together across the globe to agree on solutions.

As part of the preparations for the third session of the World Urban Forum, the Government of Canada in partnership with UN-HABITAT is sponsoring this 72-hour internet event. From December 1-3, 2005, the Habitat JAM will gather your input and add it to thousands of others to turn ideas into actions for the Vancouver World Urban Forum agenda and influence the Forum's content.
