AQUACULTURE 2022 Covid Update

Courtesy of WAS:

AQUACULTURE 2022 is going ahead as an in-person meeting. There will not be a virtual component available for the meeting.  As the Covid situation changes all the time, we will not set final protocols until about the first week of February. There are no plans to cancel the meeting or make it virtual.

At the moment, the only restriction in San Diego is wearing masks indoors. Our protocols for AQUACULTURE 2022 will reflect the latest information and guidance from CDC, other experts and any State guidelines/restrictions. Potential requirements include wearing masks, distancing and sanitizer readily available. We will have masks and individual sanitizer available for anyone who wants them.

From our registrations and previous meeting, nearly 95% of our attendees are fully vaccinated which is the best precaution. We urge anyone attending the event to get fully vaccinated and boosted.

Most experts feel that the Omicron variant course will run about 6 weeks and start tapering off. So, we are hopeful that things will improve around the first of February. Already some restrictions around the world are being lifted.

We are looking forward to seeing you in San Diego!

John Cooksey, Executive Director
World Aquaculture Society
