Milford Aquaculture Seminar

POSTPONED

The meeting scheduled for January 12-14, 2022, in Portland, Maine, has been postponed to April 27-29, 2022. The conference organizers announced the new dates on the Northeast Aquaculture Conference website.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we rescheduled the Northeast Aquaculture Conference & Exposition (NACE) and the Milford Aquaculture Seminar (MAS) originally scheduled for January 2021 until 2022. The Holiday Inn by the Bay in Portland, Maine, has graciously extended our meeting reservation and room booking agreement. 

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.
