Agenda

Marine laboratories serve as the centers for innovation in marine technology, marine operations, aquaculture, coastal resiliency practices and the broader blue economy. Our laboratories provide value-added programming to their institutions, including topic-specific workshops, micro-credentialing programs, and technology innovation. We will have breakout sessions and panels around this general theme of workforce development and the blue economy, as well as other topics including financial sustainability in the face of the current enrollment and support challenges of our higher education members.
Highlights of the meeting will include;

Keynote address by our own Dr. Deborah Bronk to speak on R&D and the Blue Economy – Dr. Bronk’s talk will explore how innovation, partnerships, and investment in science and technology can strengthen ocean-based industries, enhance resilience, and support thriving coastal communities for future generations using the state of Maine as a case study.
