Hi all,

The just concluded sympossium on the Potential for commercialization of mariculture in sub-saharan Africa in Dakar-Senegal was one of its kind that I have ever attended. This event brought together a wider consortium of mariculture pratitioners i.e. Private investors, researchers, farmers, Training Institutions, NGOs and Govenrment officers and marketers to share their vision for mariculture developlemnt.  

 

I realised that a lot is happening within Africa in Mariculture development that we need to learn from. Consequently the potentials for mariculture are rich and diverse in Africa. However more reaslistic planning is needed to realise this potentials in mariculture as summarised in the last day of the presentation.

Also to enable other people to learn from us, we need to document our field activities.

 

Its my believe that Will and Beatrice will share the final report of the sympossium to the sarnissa community.
