Dear ROSA Community,

I am pleased to present our 2022 Year in Review, which highlights the many projects ROSA accomplished over the past year, including: developing the regional framework database; publishing the Report on Fisheries Resource Data Production, Storage, and Accessibility; laying the groundwork for research administration; and serving as a convenor and thought leader in the field.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to ROSA’s mission this year. The organization depends on your contributions to advance regional science, and I could not be more appreciative of the work you have all done.

Since this is my last message as ROSA’s executive director, I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their support over the past few years as we established this new and growing organization. I am grateful for the partnership that I have had with so many in the ROSA community. Due to the hard work of many this year, I know that ROSA is poised to have a fantastic 2023!

I wish you a wonderful holiday season.

Best Regards,

Lyndie Hice-Dunton, Ph.D.

Executive Director, ROSA
