Coastal Zone Management & Shellfish Aquaculture in BC:
A Forum on Current Research and Emerging Policy Priorities

Welcome and thanks for your participation and input into our research projects.

This website intends to present a summary of the March 10th, 2005 AquaNet sponsored outreach workshop.  Hosted at Vancouver Island University, the workshop's intentions were:
  1. To present current research and give stakeholders the opportunity to comment of the strengths and weaknesses of the research programs, and
  2. To attempt to answer the question, "So what?"  How do we apply this research to affect policy?
Each of the PowerPoint presentations seen at the workshop and a summary report for each session are presented on these web pages.  Please direct questions to the relevant contact, or to Dr Rick Rollins for general questions or requests.
