The William R. and Lenore Mote
International Symposia in Fisheries Ecology
The FSU Mote symposia are supported by the endowment of the William R. and Lenore Mote Eminent Scholar Chair in Fisheries Ecology and Enhancement, established at Florida State University in the Department of Biological Science in November of 1994 with a generous gift from the late Bill Mote (1906-2000) of Sarasota, Florida. The endowment was created to allow collaborative interactions between Florida State University and the Mote Marine Laboratory.
The Mote International Symposia are held biennially, and the proceedings are published in form of a special journal issue. Each year since 2000, two Young Investigator Awards have been given at the end of the symposium, one for best oral presentation and one for best poster. Eligible presentations are designated "(YI)" in the program. The results are announced during the symposium's closing ceremonies. Young investigators are graduate students or individuals who received the Ph.D. degree no more than five years before the meeting.
