The first Aquaculture UK Virtual Sustainability Summit will take place from May 18-19, a two-day virtual event that will see the aquaculture industry unite online to hear from industry experts about how businesses can follow a sustainable path on a day-to-day basis.

The summit will provide a wealth of knowledge, guidance and details of hands-on experience that will help any aquaculture business navigate the road towards sustainability. Speakers include Melanie Siggs of Global Aquaculture Alliance; Louise Buttle, Fabio Cervellione and Ian Carr of DSM and Veramaris, Heather Jones of SAIC and many more.

Cheri Arvonio, Aquaculture UK’s event director, said, “we’re extremely disappointed to not be able to bring the community together in person in Aviemore this year, so we wanted to offer the industry the opportunity to come together and talk about one of the most pressing issues for the sector. Our fantastic lineup of speakers will give us an insight into the global outlook for the aquaculture industry, we will hear about the big changes to the sector and future plans to improve sustainability. Delegates will also have the chance to engage with a panel of leading aquaculture researchers and experts. We’ve been delighted with the response we’ve received so far with over 600 registrations and still a week to go, so if you haven’t registered already do so now to ensure you don’t miss out.”

Louise Buttle, global aqua marketing director at DSM said that “DSM has an ambitious sustainability agenda within animal health and nutrition and are delighted to be sponsoring the Aquaculture UK Virtual Summit around this important topic. We look forward to presenting and having an insightful discussion on Healthy & Sustainable Fish, applying optimum nutrition to unlock the full potential.”
