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.

WAML 2026 Fall Members Meeting
2026-10-15 09:30 - 2026-10-16 12:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Kerckhoff Marine Laboratory
Greetings WAML colleagues,
Please save the date for our fall WAML meeting on October 15–16, 2026.
The meeting will be hosted at the Kierkoff Marine Laboratory in Newport Beach, California, with a Zoom option available for those who are unable to attend in person.
Our tentative schedule is:

Thursday, October 15: Start mid-morning
Friday, October 16: Adjourn by lunchtime

We’re planning to wrap up around lunch on Friday to make travel easier for those driving home that afternoon.
If you have a sense of your plans, please let us know whether you expect to attend in person or via Zoom. We know schedules can change between now and October, but a rough headcount will help us plan appropriately for meeting space and logistics.

To help you plan your trip, Kerckhoff’s Stephen Ranson has compiled a great travel guide (CLICK HERE)

If there are agenda items, topics, or issues you’d like the Board and membership to discuss, please send them along. We’d appreciate getting those suggestions early as we begin building the agenda.
Additional details and the final agenda will be shared closer to the meeting.
We hope you’ll be able to join us and look forward to seeing everyone in Newport Beach this fall.
-WAML Board
