SUMMARY:Seaweed drying forum: Meeting Alaska’s drying capacity needs
DESCRIPTION:  \nAs capacity increases within Alaska’s mariculture industry to meet benchmarks for growth\, the state is becoming better equipped to tackle remaining industry-wide roadblocks. One such challenge is local seaweed processing capacity and know-how. Industry entrepreneurs and workers have questions about logistics and transport\, technology\, capacity\, and community needs. \nTo talk through some of these issues\, Alaska Sea Grant\, Alaska Mariculture Alliance\, and Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation are hosting an online discussion on seaweed drying. Please join us at 9:00 am on July 28 to hear from industry experts on seaweed drying equipment\, processing and markets\, community capacity and needs\, and how seaweed processing can be supported by the U.S. Economic Development Administration Build Back Better project. Panels will be followed by Q&A. \nIf you are interested in learning more about processing seaweed in Alaska\, we would love to see you at this online event. \nAgenda — Seaweed drying forum \nYou can view the recordings here\, or choose the option to watch on YouTube to access links to individual presentations. \n \n \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Building community capacity in kelp mariculture site suitability assessments
DESCRIPTION:Alaska has vast untapped habitat ideal for seaweed mariculture. Determining the relative suitability of sites for cultivating kelp is a complex calculation involving many factors of varying importance\, including conflict over area use\, geophysical aspects\, and biological requirements for effective farming. \nJoin Alaska Sea Grant’s mariculture specialist for a 1-hour webinar about a soon-to-be-released Site Assessment Toolkit (SAT) that promises to help current and prospective seaweed farmers more easily evaluate potential sites around Alaska. The presentation will include a demonstration of the SAT and an opportunity to ask questions. \nThis project is a joint effort of the UAF College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences\, Alaska Sea Grant\, and the Native Conservancy\, a nonprofit pioneering kelp farming in Prince William Sound and committed to revitalizing Native culture\, habitat\, health and spirituality. \n  \nRegister now \n  \n
