<br>
The first in a series of three, this workshop is intended to be most
useful to individuals who are raising shellfish — either for profit or
restoration. The workshop will feature growers from around the country
discussing how they’ve recognized and dealt with particular predators,
including a comparison of specific predator management techniques.
Additionally, local scientists will contribute their expertise and all
participants will be able to join in an informal, open discussion.<br>
<br>
