11th Shellfish Safety Workshop
11th Shellfish Safety Workshop
Tuesday, October 8th, 2019 - Radisson Blu Hotel, Athlone
On behalf of the Marine Institute and our co-sponsors, FSAI, SFPA and BIM we would like to welcome you to attend the 11th in our series of Shellfish Safety Workshops.
We are glad to welcome colleagues from the regulatory agencies, universities, research labs and members from the Irish shellfish industry. We also expect to have several visitors from overseas to share their knowledge in the area of shellfish safety.

The aims of this workshop are to:
• Review the shellfish safety systems in Ireland over the past ten years.
• Provide a forum for the partners in the Irish Shellfish Monitoring system to meet and take stock of developments and ongoing issues.
• Continue to build a shared understanding of risks/data on biotoxin and microbiology issues, in order to support risk management decisions.
• Provide an opportunity to present key research and to encourage scientific collaboration with agencies/researchers.
• To work with the Irish shellfish industry and state agencies in the promotion of high quality and safe shellfish, and generate key questions for research and debate.
• Strengthen our focus on shellfish microbiology, including viruses, water quality and risk management.
In addition to the balance of keynote and flash presentations, there will be posters and stands providing ample opportunity for further discussion to meet with representatives from a variety of state agencies, academic and research institutions, and the shellfish industry in an informal environment.
We hope you will enjoy the day and look forward to meeting you at the workshop.
