Since 1975, the NOAA NMFS Milford Laboratory has presented research results at the Milford Aquaculture Seminar and transferred information and technology to the aquaculture industry, the scientific community, and the public.

This biennial conference and trade show brings shellfish, finfish and algae producers together with industry vendors, regulators and NGOs to discuss the latest research and issues affecting the industry.

With a focus on worldwide shellfish restoration efforts, this annual meeting brings together people from industry, academia and government representing 25 U.S. states and over 20 countries around the world.
