Looking for gardeners to present

A session, entitled Down and Dirty with Small-scale Shellfish Growers, Hobbyists, and Gardeners, is being organized for the upcoming Aquaculture 2010 Conference, to be held in San Diego, CA during 1-5 March 2010. The session topic will address practical, novel and innovative tools and techniques developed by small-scale shellfish growers, hobbyists and gardeners in rearing their crops. Examples might be a low-cost harvester, easy-to-use record keeping system or an electronic guide for identifying organisms found in a culture system. An exchange of information on methodologies, devices, and equipment will benefit current or future efforts around the nation.
