Shrimp Futures Scenario Planning Workshop: Gulf Part 1
Supporting the domestic, wild-caught shrimp industries in the Gulf of America and South Atlantic
About
During these two-part workshop series, participants will work together through a series of activities to identify visions for the future of the shrimp industry and actions that could be taken by individuals, organizations, and governments to realize the future visions. Members from other government offices or agencies with potential ideas/funding/leverage will be included. The focus will be on identifying clear actions and paths toward achieving them. The workshop results will be presented to managers and decision-makers within and outside of NOAA Fisheries, aiming to fortify the shrimp fishery against uncertainties and ensure its sustainable success despite evolving challenges. We encourage participants to attend both workshops in their region if possible.
Each workshop will be held over 1.5 days in-person. There will not be a virtual option for these workshops, but separate virtual workshops will be held with dates to be determined.
