Industry Working Group

Mission

The mission of the Industry Working Group is to facilitate communication between industry members (including aquaculturists and fishermen) and the NECAN Steering Committee to help determine what concerns industry members may have and to assess what role, if any, acidification might play with regard to current and anticipated challenges for the region.
