SUMMARY:Aquaculture in Vermont and New England: A Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join Lake Champlain Sea Grant and partners for Aquaculture in Vermont and New England: A Community Conversation will bring together agency partners\, producers\, chefs\, researchers\, educators\, and community members for an informal discussion about the current and future role of aquaculture in Vermont and the broader region.

This event will include brief presentations on regional aquaculture trends\, Vermont hatcheries and aquatic resource considerations\, aquaponics\, and local seafood markets\, followed by a moderated panel and audience discussion.
