WelcomeWelcome to the Florida Shellfish Aquaculture Extension web site. From this site you can access many of the services we provide. Here you will find information about clam farming, updates on research and extension projects, current supplier lists and a variety of other materials. Numerous state and national publications addressing shellfish aquaculture, including the Florida Shellfish Aquaculture Extension Program's quarterly newsletter The Bivalve Bulletin, are directly accessible through this site. The University of Florida (UF) Shellfish Aquaculture Extension Program provides educational, technical, and organizational support to the clam farming industry. In 1995 a position was created within the UF Cooperative Extension Service to assist the emergent industry on Florida’s west coast in these efforts. Since then, the program has expanded to allow for statewide extension activities. Further, this program maintains a multi-faceted partnership with local governments, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the UF Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS). Services provided by this outreach program include access to information on new issues at the local, state and national levels; educational programs and workshops; and the formation and facilitation of an aquaculture advisory committee.
