On the 19th of March 2019, we held an urchin aquaculture workshop at the University of Melbourne with participants from industry, government and the university sector to have a discussion about the future of sea urchin aquaculture in Australia (to see the schedule, click here). We also had two distinguished guest speakers from Japan: Yoshi Oyama and Prof. Hiroki Yagi.
