Read more about this project here, or in this UW News digest; and check out the video that’s being transmitted right now! [googlemaps width = 250 height = 250] Scientists at the University of Washington have been working with the shellfish industry since the turn of the 20th century. This productive partnership has brought innovations in hatchery technology, oyster seasonality and more. Now, ocean acidification threatens the shellfish industry, and UW scientists like WSG‘s Joth Davis and SAFS‘ Emma Timmins-Schiffman are collaborating closely with growers to figure out how to adapt. Watch the below video to learn more! Did you get a chance to attend Conservation Remix this year?
