Leading industry associations have all pledged their support to the Offshore Mariculture 2010 Conference that will be held from 16-18 June 2010 at the Hilton Imperial Hotel, Dubrovnik, Croatia.
These associations include: European Aquaculture Technology & Innovation Platform (EATiP), the Federation of European Aquaculture Producers (FEAP), the Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA) and HGK, Grupacija akvakulture (Aquaculture Affiliation of the Croatian Chamber of Economy, and member of FEAP).
As well as promoting the Conference to their members and therefore raising awareness of the event, it also means that members of any of the above associations will be entitled to a 10% discount off the delegate rate. European Aquaculture Society members will also be entitled to the discount as the EAS have continued their support from the previous event held in Alicante in 2008.
The two day technical conference will be held on 16 and 17 June with a visit to a fish farm on the 18 June. Chaired by Arne Fredheim of Sintef/CREATE, the full programme will be released shortly and sessions will include:
- Policy, legal framework and key research updates
- Practical offshore farming operation
- Spatial planning and monitoring
- Spotlight on Croatia
- Ecological monitoring and future technologies
- European and International case studies
The Conference Networking Dinner will take place on the evening of Wednesday 16 June 2010 at the fabulous Revelin Fortress which was built in 1462 to provide protection to the Eastern City Gate Place. Overlooking the Old City Harbour, the Revelin's terrace offers, what are probably, the best views of the Old City and its famous Harbour.
