The Fourth National Aquaculture Extension Conference is scheduled for April 30 - May 4, 2007 and will be co-hosted by The Ohio State University and Kentucky State University, at the Garfield Suites Hotel in Cincinnati, Ohio. The conference is sponsored by the USDA Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service's (CSREES) five Regional Aquaculture Centers. This event has been held about every five years since 1992 and promises to strengthen professional development and growth for all levels of experience and years of service in extension education. The conference program is aimed for organizations and individuals who have extension education and outreach responsibilities in the diverse disciplines associated with aquaculture, including production, marketing, economics, risk management, processing, engineering, public policy and more.

The conference will focus on innovative techniques, current issues and emerging technologies of interest to Extension educators who work with diverse aquaculture clientele. The program tentatively includes one day of technical presentations, one day for participation in several hands-on workshops, and a day devoted to field tours of various places of interest in Cincinnati.
 

The conference registration fee is $100, which will cover the cost of conference materials, several meals and transportation for field visits.
