CHINA - The workshop was organized by FAO and NACA, and hosted by the Chinese government between March 7 and 11, 2006 in Guangzhou, China.
A total of 45 participants attended, including representatives from eleven NACA member countries, regional organizations, NGOs, academic institutions and the private sector. The objectives of the workshop were to bring together expertise from major producing countries in the region to establish a collaborative research and development programme that will support responsible mariculture, and social and economic development, among coastal communities in the region.
