September 14-15, 2010 U.S. Workshop on Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture
Also known as IMTA, this evolving approach to seafood production emphasizes an ecosystem management approach where ‘fed’ species, such as finfish or shrimp, are farmed in close proximity to species that can ‘extract’ nutrients from the water column, such as shellfish and seaweed. The workshop will highlight findings from IMTA pilot projects in Kyuquot Sound, on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, B.C.; Hood Canal, Washington; San Antonio, Texas; and Sanggou Bay, China. The goal of the workshop is an improved understanding of IMTA by U.S. aquaculturists, academics, researchers, and environmental organizations.

The workshop is limited to the first 150 registrants. The fee for the workshop is $25.
