Hello, members and friends!

Another year is drawing to a close, and with it, the cold weather has returned. The office has been very hectic lately, so the newsletter will return properly soon - but here's a taste of some of what's to come. Remember to make those deadlines, if something pertains to you!

The Sea Farmer - 2021 Issue Release!

At long last, the 2021 edition of The Sea Farmer magazine is out! Reflecting the theme of aquaculture's future, this year's magazine has a brand new look and feel. All members of the AANS should have been sent a copy, but if you know someone who would like to receive one, please reach out to outreach@seafarmers.ca to see about mailing some to your office.
