SUMMARY:AFDO/Seafood Alliance HACCP Training Course
DESCRIPTION:A Seafood Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) Training Course that is being coordinated by Michigan Sea Grant and the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission will be held December 10-12\, 2019 at Ojibwa Casino in Baraga\, Michigan. All fish processors are required to take this training if they are not currently certified. \nHazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) consists of identifying safety hazards\, determining where they occur\, monitoring these points and recording the results. HACCP involves day-to-day monitoring of critical control points by production employees. The Seafood HACCP regulation that is enforced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is based on the belief that commercial fish processors can understand the food safety hazards of their products and take reasonable steps to control them. Commercial fish processors are required either to obtain formal training for one or more of their own employees or to hire trained independent contractors to perform the HACCP functions. \nThe HACCP regulation requires processors to keep extensive records of processing and sanitation at their facilities. \nSince implementation of Seafood HACCP in the U.S. seafood has become the safest and healthiest form of muscle protein consumed in the world. Fish attributed illness outbreaks have continued to drop by year. For instance\, from 1998 to 2004 there were an average of 65 recorded illnesses per year according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. From 2005 to 2012 there was an average of 32 illnesses per year. \nAt times\, questions arise as to whether someone needs training in Seafood HACCP. The Seafood HACCP regulation defines processing as handling\, storing\, preparing\, heading\, eviscerating\, shucking\, freezing\, changing into different market forms\, manufacturing\, preserving\, packing\, labeling\, dockside unloading\, or holding fish or fishery products. The regulation does not apply to the harvest or transport of fishery products. It also does not apply to practices such as heading\, eviscerating or freezing intended solely to prepare fish for holding on a harvest vessel. Retail establishments are also exempt from the Seafood HACCP regulation. \nFish processors who complete the course put themselves at a competitive advantage as they can then produce value added products such as smoked fish and caviar. Those completing the course will receive a Seafood Alliance HACCP Certificate issued through the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO) that is recognized by agencies regulating fish processors. \nTo obtain a course registration form/fee information please contact Owen Schwartz (Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission) at ohschwartz@glifwc.org or (715) 685-2147. \nFor specific information on the course contact Ron Kinnunen (Michigan Sea Grant) at kinnune1@msu.edu or (906) 250-0459. \n\nAgenda (PDF)\nThe Seafood HACCP Regulation and Its Effects on Aquaculture (PDF)

SUMMARY:2020 Aquaculture Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The Aquaculture Challenge is a competition held by Lake Superior State University. Local school teams are tasked with creating their own small-scale aquaponics system. In addition to creating the system\, each team is provided an Arduino microcontroller and sensors to monitor the parameters of the system\, such as air and water temperature\, luminosity\, and soil moisture. The last component of the system is a business canvas that will outline potential customers\, methods of distribution\, and other points to consider when creating a business. Each of these three sections of the challenge are important when starting and operating a full-scale aquaculture business\, and many of these businesses fail because they did not consider one or more of these components. \nThe Challenge gives the students a few months to conceptualize and implement their system design\, configure their Arduinos and sensors to monitor their system\, and create their business model canvas. The students were asked to submit videos describing their systems\, and they where they were judged in each of these three categories separately\, as well as overall integration of them. The videos will be posted here\, so stay tuned to witness the ingenious systems created by these brilliant students! \nRegistration runs from October 25–January 8. April 8th: Due Date for Submissions. \n\nAquaculture Challenge website

SUMMARY:MI Paddle Stewards: Gibraltar\, Detroit Heritage River Water Trail
DESCRIPTION:Become an ally in the fight against aquatic invasive species! Paddlers 18 years and older are invited to join Michigan Sea Grant and partners for a one-day volunteer program about protecting water trails from aquatic invasive species (AIS). You will learn how to detect and report any invasive species spotted while paddling a water trail\, and how to clean your crafts to avoid giving invaders a free ride. As a new ecosystem ambassador\, you’ll be encouraged to pass your knowledge to other paddlers and seek out other volunteer opportunities to help keep your local water trails clean and healthy. \nThis workshop includes lunch and a paddling experience (with kayaks and gear provided by Michigan Sea Grant) on a nearby water trail! Participation is free thanks to funding from the Michigan Invasive Species Grant Program (www.michigan.gov/invasives). Find more detailed information about the workshop on the event’s registration page.
