<span style="font-size:11.0pt">The first annual Sea Grant Great Lakes Aquaculture Day will be October 10, 2020. The virtual event will showcase the region’s potential for fish and seafood production and host a culinary competition.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">The event is free, open to the public and <span style="color:#0F54CC">
registration is required</span>. Activities begin at 9:30 a.m. and end at 5:30 p.m. Eastern time with a cooking challenge demonstration.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">The Event will feature a variety of panel discussions and presentations on aquaculture. Presentations will be targeted at a variety of audiences, from beginning and current farmers to consumers interested in learning more about
preparing and cooking seafood. </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">The event is hosted by the Sea Grant Great Lakes Aquaculture Collaborative, which is a project of Sea Grant programs across the Great Lakes region working to share resources and promote best practices throughout the aquaculture
industry. </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">The event finale will feature a cooking demonstration with Chef Jeff Igel, from the Wisconsin Technical College, followed by a cooking competition featuring three culinary students from the Great Lakes region. Each student will
be required to use a key ingredient and local aquaculture products in their creation.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">The Great Lakes Aquaculture Collaborative is <span style="color:#0F54CC">
currently accepting applications </span>from post-secondary students for the competition and the three chosen students will receive a $250 stipend.

<span style="font-size:11.0pt">Aquaculture is the fastest growing sector of agriculture across the world and now accounts for more than 50% of the production of seafood in the world, surpassing production from wild-caught fisheries. However, in the United States
the growth of aquaculture has been stagnant. Seafood supply from U.S.- based wild caught fisheries is not enough to meet nationwide demand. One result is a $14 billion seafood trade deficit.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">The U.S. aquaculture industry has potential for growth, especially in the Great Lakes region where abundant inland freshwater resources have enabled a handful of state-based aquaculture operations to employ a local workforce and
produce sustainable, healthy and tasty fish. </span></p>
