The Roger Williams University Center for Economic and Environmental Development will be offering an Applied Shellfish Farming course for business startups.
The non-credit course consists of 15 evening lectures (6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.) over the next four months, starting on Jan. 16. The classes cover a range of information that prospective or experienced shellfish farmers will need to help them start or improve their farm operations.
The course can be attended in-person at the RWU campus in Bristol or online through a weekly live webinar-type format available on the Internet. Each class will be recorded for later viewing, if needed.
RWU marine biology Professor Dale Leavitt, Center for Economic and Environmental Development research associate Matt Griffin and shellfish hatchery manager Robbie Hudson will teach the course, along with a few outside speakers to cover specialized topics.
The course fee is $75 per attending unit. That means that if a farm has a few family members, business partners or associates who will be attending together, they comprise a single unit.
If a farm is planning on sending representatives to attend the course in-person, all the farm representatives have to do is show up on the first night and they will be signed up for the course at that time. If a farm plans on taking the course via the internet, send an email to oysters@rwu.edu. The course organizers will respond with information describing how to sign up for – and tune in to – the course.
