Event reminder‼️

We will be hosting a webinar tomorrow, Tuesday, October 13 from 2-4 pm (Pacific) on balancing offshore wind port infrastructure with existing coastal industries: perspectives from the Humboldt Bay shellfish industry.

This talk will feature presentations from California Sea Grant and the Schatz Center, as well as perspectives from local shellfish farmers who are actively engaged in the development process. Our goal is for attendees to come away with a better understanding of Humboldt Bay as a working estuary and agricultural space, and of the concerns and priorities of the shellfish industry regarding large-scale port development.

This webinar is free and open to the public. To learn more and register, visit https://schatzcenter.org/events/

The Schatz Center and California Sea Grant recently released a new report, Humboldt Bay Shellfish Mariculture Business Survey: Assessing Economic Conditions and Contributions, which provides a comprehensive economic assessment of Humboldt Bay’s shellfish mariculture industry, detailing structural shifts and market trends between 2016 and 2024.

Due to its unique high-health status, Humboldt Bay plays a foundational role in West Coast shellfish aquaculture, producing over half of California’s market-sized shellfish and supplying nearly half of the region's key seed species.

This report evaluates survey data from local businesses and details how shellfish seed produced in Humboldt Bay helps sustain an estimated $155.5 million in annual economic activity and thousands of jobs across the West Coast region.

Reminder– webinar tomorrow‼️

Join us on Tuesday, June 23 from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm to learn about the new statewide Environmental Monitoring Framework for floating offshore wind development, developed by the California Marine Sanctuary Foundation.

This framework provides a science-based foundation to guide the development of site-specific monitoring plans for species, habitats, and oceanographic processes that may be affected by floating offshore wind in California. It identifies potential environmental impacts from OSW development, proposes relevant monitoring questions, and reviews available and emerging monitoring tools.

This webinar is free and open to the public. To learn more and register, visit https://schatzcenter.org/2026/06/upcoming-webinar-introducing-the-california-offshore-wind-environmental-monitoring-framework/

This event is produced by the Pacific Offshore Wind Consortium.
