During this period, numerous activities were carried out, to a great extent addressing those planned for the first year in the initial proposal. These included a conference session on fish passage, participatory community meetings in Três Marias, a roundtable session at World Aquaculture 2003, a multi-stakeholder fisheries review meeting, organization and participation in Brazilian and international conferences, workshops and technical meetings, community and policing assessment missions by Canadian experts and Brazilian partners, a technical visit by a Canadian expert on invasive mussels, as well as project management and implementation missions.

These activities generally served the double purpose of addressing the initially proposed function of the project as well as contributing to the revision of project strategies to adapt to changing conditions.
