NWBIO 2010 Workshop - Mariculture in our Coastal Zones examined through Ecological Science
Date: 04/30/10 Noon - 6:00 PM
Location: NWBIO 2010, Hosted by Grays Harbor College at the Quinault Beach Resort and Casino
Attendance: Any community college instructor that teaches marine biology, oceanography, biology, or environmental science and wants to learn more about the ecology of mariculture. Participants must register for NWBIO 2010

Instructors: Dr. Jennifer Ruesink and Dr. Alan Trimble, University of Washington

Ever growing demand for seafood has led to dramatic increases in mariculture of numerous species worldwide, often creating conflicts between stakeholders in coastal areas. Science can provide ecological data to assist management and potentially quantify ecosystem services for informed legislative tradeoffs in our quest for sustainability of these multi-use ecosystems. This workshop is designed to provide faculty with current information on both local and global mariculture growth, introduced (sometimes invasive) species, environmental impacts, husbandry practices, and known ecological interactions. Examples will include finfish (esp. salmon), shellfish (primarily oysters, hard clams and geoducks), and algae. The desired outcome of the workshop is for attendees to gain sufficient background information, student readings, and lecture presentation materials for a class session on the ecology of mariculture in a marine science/biology course.
