You are invited to participate in a virtual listening session to inform development of a Sea Grant 10-Year Aquaculture Roadmap.

The Roadmap will guide Sea Grant’s investments and other contributions to address key needs and maximize the return on these investments, and will serve to inform Congress, the aquaculture community, the Sea Grant Network, NOAA, and other governmental agencies about the role Sea Grant in a sustainable U.S. aquaculture community and economy based on sound science, community engagement and education.

Each 90-minute virtual listening session is organized by topic (below), and will include participants from the aquaculture community, federal/state/local/ territory agencies, the Sea Grant network, and aquaculture researchers/subject matter experts. Sessions will be facilitated by ERG.
