Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2022 11:52:01 +0000 Subject: [Sc-aquaponics] Aquaculture Engineering Society Aquaponics Webinar TODAY Message-ID: All, I have received this many times over the last 48-72 hours, but I have held off sharing it as I was trying to learn whether this webinar is free or not. Their link HERE says members only (minimum cost to be a member is $35), but many (including some of the presenters) are under the impression that the webinar is free. I am still not sure if non-members will be let in the Zoom room to watch the webinar, but I wanted to get it to the SC Aquaponics folks. There are some great speakers, so I encourage you to participate if possible! See below my signature for the full write-up on the webinar, including the Zoom link.
