<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">IOS6 explores what we can expect from and ask of the oysterin environmental and human affairs, now and into the future. Do you see opportunity for economic growth, a biologic key to health, a declining natural resource in need of restoration, or compliant machines working on our behalf? Many envision a future with oysters helping to save our planet's well being by sustaining the ever-growing human population while keeping pace with sea level rise. Key questions:</p>
<ul><li style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Are all points of view and interests across the oyster community compatible, or are some mutually exclusive? </li><li style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a community, how can we vigorously champion oysters without getting in our own way of realizing the oysters' full potential? </li><li style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Where are the successes and obstacles to industry growth, water quality remediation, repopulation, and community engagement? </li><li style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can we find oyster common ground?</li></ul>
