Washington Sea Grant, in partnership with Puget Sound Restoration Fund and The Nature Conservancy, is pleased to announce the Washington Seaweed Knowledge Symposium <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https
://waseaweedcollaborative.org/__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!i-4EqSBhVhIsTJJWSiPq4QdNtuVjkCKIvJhgpnpF4ey9FPM1tlbhKHrWiyNtVx07dITJWgl4UA1jNM_PusU$> : a first-of-its-kind opportunity for people working
to understand and shape kelp and seaweed farming in Washington State on December 8, 2022 at St. Martin’s University in Lacey, WA. More about the focus and objectives for this symposium
below. Please note the emphasis on knowledge—what we know, and where we need better information—to make informed decisions about seaweed farming in Washington. The program will not
include ‘how-to’ training or permitting guidance.
As a member of our target audience, we want to make sure you’re aware of this event, which we expect will fill up quickly. To ensure diverse and equitable participation by a variety
of Washington seaweed constituents, spots will be distributed on a first-come-first-serve basis BY ROLE (e.g. state agency, tribe, farmer, coastal resident, etc.), which you'll have
the opportunity to specify from a set of options on the signup form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeKHRzd0qcEHNDppv8P_DLEcSJ_Y-abrnhQqxkCLwwqd5rFOQ/viewform> . The signup
process will remain open through Saturday, November 12th; individuals on the signup list will be notified whether they’ve been registered to attend in person or placed on the waitlist
on November 16. We strongly encourage you to act fast if you wish to attend in person!
We regret that we won’t be able to accommodate everyone who'd like to attend; thank you in advance for your understanding. The entire program will be recorded and added to the Washington
Seaweed Collaborative website in early January 2023. Please indicate when you sign up if you’d like to be notified when the recording is released. We kindly ask that you refrain from
forwarding this email to colleagues until noon today (Nov 4), when the Symposium is announced to the broader public, to give you and others on this mailing list a chance to sign up.
On behalf of WSG Symposium Team, our partners, and the Symposium steering committee—hope to see you there!
