"The advances in research and technology we share in these proceedings are great examples of creating our future. Understanding ocean acidification and adaptively managing shellfish hatcheries made it possible to supply oyster seed to farmers in the Pacific Northwest and kept the industry going, despite the failure of natural sets. Even if not explicitly stated, the idea of creating our future through enhanced knowledge is a common thread among the papers in these proceedings. The cutting-edge technologies discussed here are building a future of increased efficiency, sustainability, and species variety in aquaculture"--Introduction.
