[SEMCO] Northeast Aquaculture Conference and Expo

[Sheri DeRosa]

Dear Colleagues;

The 2008 Northeast Aquaculture Conference and Expo (NACE) will be held 
at the Eastland Park Hotel in Portland, Maine, December 3-5th.  The 
event, now in its 10th year, will feature a full technical program, a 
trade show with vendors of supplies and services throughout the region 
and the country, guest speakers addressing important topics for today 
and tomorrow, and an excellent chance to network with growers, 
scientists and managers.  We are offering great tours, and we have not 
forgotten about good food and entertainment, to make this enjoyable as 
well as informative.  As usual, the conference is organized by 
collaborators from the Northeast US and Canada, and is supported by a 
wide group of sponsors.  The attached document lists the agenda and 
other relevant details about lodging, registration, and the goals of the 
event.

Please feel free to forward this message to your colleagues and 
co-workers, students, members, or others who may have an interest in 
aquaculture.  As you'll see, NACE covers marine and freshwater, finfish 
and shellfish, food products and non-food products alike, so there will 
be something there for everyone.

Registration and further details are available through the conference 
web site: www.northeastaquaculture.org.  Don't forget - early 
registration ends November 3rd.

Meantime, thank you for passing the word, and on behalf of the NACE 2008 
Organizing Committee, we hope to see you there!

Best regards,
