Management of Shellfish Pests
Saturday, March 11, 2006, 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
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 and what other farmers do about them! 
This workshop will feature Andre Mallet, owner of Lunenburg Shellfish in 
Nova Scotia, who will share several methods he uses for dealing with boring 
sponge and sea squirts.

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.

The workshop series is a collaborative effort of the Massachusetts 
Coastal Training Program, Woods Hole Sea Grant, Cape Cod Cooperative 
Extension, Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources, and the 
Southeastern Massachusetts Aquaculture Center
