Milford Aquaculture Seminar

41st Milford Aquaculture Seminar/Northeast Aquaculture Conference & Expo (NACE)

Postponed until January 12-14, 2022

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the unlikelihood of being able to convene 500-600 people together in January 2021, it is with disappointment that we announce the postponement of the Northeast Aquaculture Conference & Exposition (NACE) and the Milford Aquaculture Seminar (MAS) until January 12-14, 2022. The Holiday Inn by the Bay in Portland, Maine, has graciously extended our meeting reservation and room booking agreement until the following year. We look forward to convening the next NACE/MAS back in Portland in January 2022 and hope to see you there. We will add more details as plans develop for 2022.

40th Milford Aquaculture Seminar

January 13-15th, 2020

We've reached full seating capacity for the venue. Because of this, we unfortunately can no longer offer online or walk in registration. See you at the next joint MAS/Northeast Aquaculture Conference & Expo (NACE)! 

History

Since 1975, NOAA Fisheries' Milford Laboratory has convened the Milford Aquaculture Seminar as a forum for technology transfer among Fisheries staff, the aquaculture community, scientific and academic communities, regulators and the public. The Seminar is held every January. In 2015 the decision was made to hold the Milford Aquaculture Seminar jointly with the Northeast Aquaculture Conference and Expo, and this arrangement will continue in odd numbered years.
