Information Session: Sustainable Seafood Research Initiative

– November 21 – 
5:30 – 7:00 PM

Attention all seafood industry members and scientists! Please join Rhode Island Sea Grant [rhodeislandseagrant.cmail20.com] and the University of Rhode Island [rhodeislandseagrant.cmail20.com] for a forum to discuss the new Partnership for Research Excellence in Sustainable Seafood (PRESS).

The aim of this four-year, $1 million initiative is to direct nimble and rapid funding to address critical issues facing Rhode Island’s fisheries, aquaculture, and seafood sectors. The objectives are to: (1) identify emerging issues affecting seafood production; (2) develop a research innovation and idea incubator driven by stakeholder input; (3) develop and/or enhance workforce training and educational portals; and (4) transfer technology to improve industry sustainability. 

The virtual open forum [rhodeislandseagrant.cmail20.com] on November 21st will be the first of several opportunities for you to learn more about the initiative, ask questions, and better understand how the initiative might assist your seafood-related research or business.

This information session will be recorded. 

For more information, please contact Azure Cygler or Marta Gomez-Chiarri.
