Greetings from the Secretariat of 2025 APPA Regional Forum. Today we reach out to you with the first announcement for 2025 APPA Regional Forum – Shandong, China April 21-23, 2025
Kelp Aquacultures: from Current Issues to Future Scientific Development for Applications and Sustainability
Friendship Hotel Conference Room, Rongcheng City, Shandong Province, China
APPA has the regular symposium called Asian Pacific Phycological Forum (APPF) in every 3 years. We had 2024 APPF in Sapporo, Japan and the next 2027 APPF scheduled in HoChiMin City, Vietnam. With 30th anniversary of APPA, we are planning a new challenge of co-hosting the satellite or regional symposiums, a specific theme-based, in between these 3 years-intervals. As globally well-known, China has the largest production of aquacultured seaweeds in the world and the Shandong Province coastal areas is the main location with various marine cultivated species. We decided this is the right place for hosting a symposium with the theme of seaweed aquaculture and the related sciences. This meeting is the our first launch of long journey of APPA’s Regional Forum.
