Abstract  The 7th International Conference and Workshop on Lobster Biology and Management (ICWL) marked 27 years since the inaugural conference in 1977 held in Perth, Australia. It was also the first time that the conference had returned to Australia. In 1977, 34 scientists and managers from 6 countries met to discuss common issues and themes. Since this time, the ICWL has met in St Andrews, Canada in 1985, Havana, Cuba in 1990, Sanriku, Japan in 1993, Queenstown, New Zealand in 1997, and Key West, United States in 2000. At each meeting the number of delegates, oral presentations and poster presentations continues to grow. Over 150 oral and 48 poster presentations were made from delegates from 19 countries at this conference.
