The Working Group on Recruitment Forecasting in a Variable Environment (WGRFE) met at the ICES HQ, Copenhagen, Denmark, from June 16-20, 2014, with fourteen participants and Dr. Liz Brooks (USA) and Sam Subbey (Norway) as Chairs. The formal mandate for this WG meeting was established in 2013/MA2/SSGSUE01.
