SPECIAL SYMPOSIUM

Thursday, April 12, 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.

Symposium Title:  The ecological, economic, and social benefits of shellfish aquaculture, restoration, and conservation in New England estuaries

Background and Goals:
Shellfish aquaculture is central to the immediate region (Duxbury, Wellfleet, the rest of Cape Cod, and soon to be very active in Plymouth) as well as northeastern estuaries at large. Talks will focus on shellfish aquaculture and restoration activities, including the social, cultural, and economic influences of these activities. Water quality, pathogens, disease, and other environmental conditions are central to this theme. Topics will include biology and natural history of shellfish, conservation and restoration, aquaculture, and potential impacts of these activities.

Symposium Speakers Will be Invited
