The International Conference
on Shellfish Restoration
ICSR2024

ICSR2024 is complete!

The first ICSR was held in 1996. Since that time, it has been held all over the world from Canada to Scotland to Australia and stops in between, often meeting in the charming coastal city of Charleston, South Carolina, USA. Unique in its approach, ICSR is organized to allow interaction among participants forming collaborations and friendships that last a lifetime.
