WHOI scientists, engineers, technical staff, postdocs, and students are well positioned for the development of monitoring tools, protocols, and models for predicting and measuring ecosystem impacts and services associated with ocean aquaculture. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">With support from WHOI’s Research Opportunity funding, we will be hosting a virtual scoping workshop on Aquaculture Research on <b class="">Wednesday April 7 from 9:30 - 11:30 am</b>. All are welcome regardless of whether or not you have prior experience in this area. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The main goals of the workshop will be to: (1) understand current WHOI expertise and interest in this area, (2) provide WHOI researchers with an overview of related funding opportunities, and (3) identify gaps in WHOI expertise and facilities that may be a barrier to researcher's ability to compete for federal aquaculture funding. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Please take 2 minutes to respond to this <a href="https://bit.ly/2NSGoRz" class="">survey</a> in order to register for the workshop by March 26. Further details including an agenda will be sent out in the coming weeks. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best regards,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Matt Charette</div><div class="">Dave Bailey</div><div class="">Hauke Kite Powell</div><div class="">Scott Lindell</div><div class="">Jennie Rheuban</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">
