North Carolina has great potential for shellfish aquaculture \u2014 and the more involved, the better for the industry.<\/p>\n

If\u00a0you are a potential or established shellfish grower \u2014 or just interested in shellfish culture-related topics \u2014\u00a0join me at a a free Shellfish Aquaculture Workshop<\/a>. It will be held at the Doubletree by Hilton Riverfront Hotel New Bern on Saturday, Feb. 13. From 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., we’ll be talking oyster and\u00a0clam aquaculture in North Carolina.<\/p>\n

Keynote speaker Bob Rheault, executive director of the East Coast Shellfish Growers Association<\/a>, will give an overview and a history of the East Coast shellfish industry. In addition \u2014 and this is not mentioned in the agenda \u2014\u00a0he will discuss\u00a0lessons learned about starting operations,\u00a0problems to avoid and how to have a successful shellfish growing business.<\/p>\n

We’ll also introduce two tools that will be interesting to\u00a0both new\u00a0and experienced growers: Virginia Sea Grant’s oyster crop budgeting tool and the N.C. Shellfish Siting Tool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also on the agenda<\/a> (scroll down to the Saturday events) are topics such as\u00a0steps to develop a business plan and updates on shellfish research and legislation affecting the industry, as well as information on the state\u2019s shellfish gardening program.<\/p>\n

You will get to attend the annual meetings of the\u00a0North Carolina Shellfish Growers Association<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0East Coast Shellfish Growers Association. It’s a great opportunity for you to learn about \u2014 and maybe join \u2014 these organizations. At the very least, these meetings will allow you to connect with growers in the state and on the East Coast.<\/p>\n

Here’s a reason to consider joining the N.C. Shellfish Growers Association: The group lists all its\u00a0member growers<\/a>\u00a0on its website. You can gain visibility\u00a0for your operation \u2014 and perhaps additional sales too.<\/p>\n

Participants will\u00a0receive free admission to the industry trade show at the\u00a0North Carolina Aquaculture Development Conference<\/a>, which is going on at the same time.<\/p>\n

There is no cost to attend the workshop but registration is required \u2014 even if you already are signed up for the N.C. Aquaculture Development Conference.\u00a0Limited same-day registration may be available until the workshop reaches its capacity of 100.<\/p>\n

The workshop is funded by a\u00a0grant<\/a> through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\/National Sea Grant 2015 Aquaculture Extension and Technology Transfer program.<\/p>\n
