Greetings!
Welcome to the Office of Aquaculture's August newsletter! It's been a hot, but productive summer here at NOAA and I want to share with you a few things that have been going on. In this issue, there are several noteworthy items. The draft 'National Aquacuture Research & Development Strategic Plan' is available for public comment. NOAA and USDA look forward to hearing your input, which is critical to directing federal agencies research efforts in the years to come. We also are announcing that the US-Japan Natural Resources Panel on Aquaculture (UJNR) is celebrating its 40th year with a symposium focusing on hatchery technology to be held in Honolulu, HI. August is 'Aquaculture Month' at NOAA Fisheries, during which we'll be highlighting some of the great research that goes on in our Science Centers over the next few weeks, so head over to our website to see what's been posted. Finally, I had the opportunity to visit France a few weeks ago to further our scientific cooperation on aquaculture. So head on over to our website, read the 'Director's Corner' and, as always, thank you for your interest in NOAA's aquaculture activities! Read more...
