The Four P's of a Safe and Sustainable Aquaculture Industry:

Practices, Presentation, Promotion and the Press

 

The National Aquaculture Association (NAA) and the United Soybean Board have teamed up with local hosts to sponsor an important one-day workshop, "The Four P's of a Safe and Sustainable Aquaculture Industry: Practices, Presentation, Promotion and the Press" at ten locations across the United States.  The workshop will provide fish and shellfish producers with the knowledge and skills to market their products more successfully, grow their businesses, help shape the public's perception of aquaculture at a local level, and work with government decision-makers.

 

Workshops will provide aquaculture producers with the tools to help ensure that they can provide positive, upbeat, scientifically accurate information to help spread the good news about U.S. aquaculture.  In addition to the actual workshop, each participant will receive a toolbox containing handy references and important information.

 

Workshop instructors include Dr. Andy Goodwin and Dr. Nathan Stone of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB), Linda O'Dierno, NAA Outreach Specialist, Betsy Hart, NAA Executive Director, and a local speaker.
