This session is organized by members of the Diversity and Inclusion (DI) committee of the United States Aquaculture Society (USAS) and welcomes all World Aquaculture Society members and conference participants. The goal of the session is to provide a safe and inclusive environment where questions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the society, and aquaculture community at large, can be discussed freely. In this relaxed-fit forum, we welcome audience participation in a structured discussion of current issues, priority areas, and on-going diversity initiatives in the USAS.
