Management of Shellfish Pests
Saturday, March 11, 2006, 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. (note new time)
Blinn Hall, Massachusetts Maritime Academy
Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts

The second in a series of three, this workshop is intended to be most 
useful to individuals who are raising shellfish -- either for profit or 
restoration.

Shellfish farmers in Massachusetts know that fouling is a major problem. 
Find out more about who those pests are (including boring sponge and sea 
squirts) and what other farmers do about them!

Confirmed speakers include:
- Andre Mallet, oyster farmer from the Canadian Maritimes
- Mark Hooper, shellfish farmer from Smyrna, North Carolina
- Rick Karney, Martha's Vineyard Shellfish Group
- Jim O'Connell, Wellfleet Shellfish Company

Workshop is free, but pre-registration is required. Attendance is 
limited to 50, with preference given to licensed shellfish farmers. 
Please contact Bill Burt of Cape Cod Cooperative Extension by March 1 -- 
(508) 375-6702 or wburt at umext.umass.edu. Lunch and beverages included.
