A panel of experts will discuss the ecosystem services associated with shellfish aquaculture (habitat provision, nutrient removal, eutrophication mitigation, benthic stabilization, etc.) and encourage workshop participants to brainstorm and propose ways in which growers might tweak their farming methods to maximize the various services and improve the restorative aspects of shellfish farming.
Panelists:
Lisa Kellogg, VIMS
Daphne Munroe, Rutgers University
Heidi Alleway, The Nature Conservancy
