The Bevan Series is generously funded by the Donald E. Bevan Endowed Fund in Fisheries, the Northwest Fisheries Science Center, the Alaska Fisheries Science Center, and Washington Sea Grant. The Bevan Series was founded by Tanya Bevan as a tribute to her late husband, Don Bevan. Don’s academic career spanned almost 50 years at the University of Washington, during which time he was director of the School of Fisheries and dean of the College of Fisheries. His work focused on the key intersection between science, economics, and politics, and he was deeply involved in the enactment and reauthorization of the Magnuson Act, which governs America’s marine fisheries. Don worked tirelessly to ensure that fisheries managers, industry, and scientists spoke with a unified voice in changing federal regulations, and he also helped found what is now the UW School of Marine and Environmental Affairs.

The Bevan Series seeks to continue Don Bevan’s legacy.

The 2021 Bevan Series will be held virtually online and open to the public. Visit our events page and click the subscribe button to stay up to date and have each seminar added to your calendar. Recordings will be uploaded to our YouTube channel and can be found below the day after the presentation.
