The Mid-Atlantic Coastal Acidification Network (MACAN) will host the free webinar "Perspectives from the Commercial Shellfish
Industry" on Feb. 21, 2017 from 1-2 p.m.
The seafood industry in the Mid-Atlantic is robust and
a critical component of the regional economy. Unfortunately, acidification has
the potential to disrupt this industry from top to bottom with coupled
direct/indirect effects. Commercial shell-fishermen need viable strategies to
understand, anticipate, and respond to future changes brought on by
acidification. Such complex analyses require a coordinated effort between
industry and academic research collaborations. Commercial shellfish industry
perspectives and academic partnerships will be the focus of the third webinar
in this series. David Kuhn, Aquaculture Research and Extension Program at
Virginia Tech, and A.J. Erskine, KCB Oyster, will present on the knowledge and
advancements to be gained by industry-academic partnerships.
