The Washington Sea Grant Shellfish Growers Conference has been convening since 1991 to unite shellfish producers, researchers, students, and managers from across the Pacific Northwest. This two-day event provides a vital forum to discuss pressing issues in aquaculture, share relevant research, and strengthen our community. Topics include water quality, policy and legislation, production best practices, ecosystem interactions, workforce development, and shellfish mortality.
