Aquaculture CRSP Annual Meeting 2007

2. Background Email dated Sep 19, 2006 from Hillary states that:
site description booklet provides general background information
site description booklet needs updating since it was written and published more or less 7 years ago (in 1999)
The site description update was due on December 10, 2006 to Hillary for final
