[SEMCO] Workshop on Bay Scallop Restoration

[Sheri DeRosa]

Woods Hole Sea Grant and Cape Cod Cooperative Extension will be holding 
a workshop on efforts to restore bay scallop populations in southern New 
England that will be held as part of the Third Annual Northeastern 
Aquaculture Conference and Exposition (NACE) to be held December 3-4 in 
Manchester, New Hampshire.

The workshop, geared for coastal decision makers, researchers, NGOs, 
students, and members of the public, will feature four sessions: Case 
Studies, Site Selection, Monitoring and Assessment, and Community 
Involvement. The workshop will also review past and present regional 
restoration efforts, draw on experience from other geographic locations, 
and formally recommend a prioritized research agenda for the region's 
bay scallop restoration community. Furthermore, Dr. William Arnold of 
the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in St. Petersburg, Florida, 
will provide a keynote talk on his extensive work on bay scallop 
restoration entitled "Bay Scallop Population Restoration Activities in 
Florida: Application and Assessment."
